01 / Observe
Survey the street.
Capture current conditions across an agreed service area, with coverage and constraints defined before the work begins.
Aerial intelligence for public works
See the city.
Change the street.
Aerbits turns fresh aerial imagery into a reliable picture of illegal dumping—so crews can find the work, clear it, and show what changed.
01 / The premise
A city cannot act on
what it cannot see.
Resident reports are essential, but they are incomplete and quickly become out of date. Aerbits gives public works teams a current, street-scale view: what is still there, what has already been cleaned, and what was never reported.

02 / From air to action
One continuous view
of the work.
Every flight helps turn an uncertain queue into a clearer operating picture.
02 / Understand
Make the work visible.
Detect visible dumping, reconcile duplicate reports, and place the pin where the pile actually sits—not merely at the nearest address.
03 / Act
Give crews a better start.
Attach evidence and current conditions to the work queue. Fly again to document what changed after cleanup.
Aerial visibility has limits. Weather, airspace, trees, structures, and survey boundaries can obscure conditions; a site not visible from the air should not be assumed clean.
03 / Evidence, not assumptions
The queue says one thing.
The street may say another.
Reports arrive at different times, from different angles, and often land on approximate addresses. Aerbits checks the record against fresh imagery before limited crew time is spent on a dead end.
- 01Is it still there?Distinguish active dumping from a site that has already been cleared.
- 02Where is it exactly?Correct the location to the visible pile, including the right side of the street.
- 03What changed?Connect a later observation to the cleanup record.

Less dumping.
Not just a tidier dashboard.
Aerbits’ reported pilot counts went from 118 active dumpsites to a low of 5. Aerial detection and reporting helped make the work visible; on-the-ground cleanup removed the waste.

Your crews do the cleanup.
We make the work visible.
Start with one problem area, the systems your team uses today, and a shared definition of success. Scope a pilot before talking about scale.
