Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the commonly asked questions from our customers
How will you handle exceptions and differences if our rules are unique?
We understand that your rules may differ from the standard ones, and that’s why we offer custom branding and custom building options. Whatever specifications you require, we are dedicated to catering to your specific needs, ensuring that our solution aligns with your unique rules and requirements.
How will this service help with my Outreach and Education efforts?
One common issue in waste management is contamination, which occurs when people mistakenly assume the correct bin for an item. Our Waste Sorting Game provides a solution by allowing you to easily test people’s understanding of recycling and identify common misconceptions. With the data collected from the game, you can build targeted campaigns and “course correct” people’s recycling behavior, helping to educate and engage your community effectively.
Will I be able to track the number of incorrect guesses?
Absolutely! As more people play the Waste Sorting Game, you will accumulate valuable data that reveals the frequency of incorrect guesses. This data provides insights into areas where people may be getting recycling wrong. As a Recycling Educator, this information becomes a valuable resource, empowering you to design targeted campaigns based on that knowledge, re-educating people and teaching them how to recycle properly.
What happens if a user makes a spelling mistake in their search?
We understand that nobody is perfect all the time. That’s why we’ve incorporated our “fuzzy” search technology, which allows us to deliver accurate instructions regardless of typos or misspellings, ensuring users still receive the information they need.
What are the drawbacks of using static leaflets, posters, or PDFs?
Static, printed content is susceptible to becoming outdated, easily lost, recycled, and it contributes to a negative environmental impact through printing. By utilizing our service, you can stay connected to people in real-time, promptly informing and educating them about new and important changes within your programs. Additionally, you can easily access detailed statistics and analytics on the most searched items and more, providing valuable insights for your initiatives.
How does your service handle location-dependent rules within our served region?
Our powerful technology includes a region-based filtering feature. When residents search for information based on their address, our system will display different answers specific to their location, ensuring accurate and relevant instructions based on their region.
