In 2020, a group of computer science students at the University of San Diego started a challenging senior class project. They sought to develop a software solution that would allow waste haulers to analyze recordings from DVR systems installed on trash and recycling trucks to detect bin pickups.

After completing the senior design project, the group decided to partner with the project sponsors and take their ideas to the next level and launch their own company Ecorithms Inc. Today, they continue to innovate in the waste industry with WasteAID and are well-positioned to make a lasting impact.
