Built for public works

Cleaner streets.
Fewer wasted
crew trips.

Give your crews a clearer picture of what needs cleaning—not another dead end.

Aerbits checks illegal-dumping reports against fresh aerial imagery, corrects locations, documents cleanups, and identifies missed piles. A more reliable work queue. A better starting point for every shift.

Your team does the cleanup. We help make the work visible.

Make every crew trip count

The queue says one thing.
The street can say another.

When information is out of date, limited crew time goes to checking reports instead of clearing dumping.

01 / Dispatch

Stop chasing yesterday’s pile.

See which reported locations still need attention—and which have already been cleaned.

02 / Coverage

Find what never gets reported.

Surface dumping visible in the survey, including piles that never made it into the resident-report queue.

03 / Accountability

Show the work got done.

Connect cleanup records to photo evidence, so your team can explain what changed on the street.

Same block, different flights

The street is never
standing still.

One survey is a snapshot. Flying the same block again is what shows what actually changed — a pile that appeared where the pavement was clear, or a pile that’s gone after a crew pickup.

New dumping appeared. The same sidewalk two flights apart. Nobody reported it — the pile showed up between surveys, and the model flagged it on the next pass.

Cleanup verified. The same corner on an earlier and a later flight. The pile a crew cleared is confirmed gone from the air — no return trip needed to check.

A better starting point for the next shift

One work order.
A much clearer picture.

Follow an illustrative report from uncertainty to verified cleanup. Select a step to see what changes.

An accurate queue can grow when missed piles are found. The goal is fewer dumpsites—not just fewer tickets.

One pile, several reports

The queue counts tickets.
The street counts piles.

Reports arrive from different people, at different times, from different angles. The same pile can be filed again and again — and every filing gets snapped to a street address, which isn’t always where the garbage actually sits. Aerbits reconciles the queue against a fresh survey.

01 / Deduplicate

Several reports, one pile.

Filings for the same dumping collapse into a single verified location, so crews aren’t sent to the same corner twice.

02 / Correct

An address isn’t a location.

A parcel that fronts two streets can geocode to the wrong frontage. Aerial evidence puts the pin where the pile is, then hands back a corrected position.

03 / Update

Fix the record, not just the pile.

Existing work orders are checked against the current survey — already cleaned, still present, or moved — and updated so the queue matches the street.

Aerial view of a street corner with three blue pins for geocoded reports joined by purple lines to the actual pile of dumping
Three reports, one pile. Each filing geocoded to its own point on the block; the lines run from those pins to the single pile they all describe.
Aerial view along a curb with a purple line running from a geocoded address on the street to a pile of dumping across the way
The address hides the position. A property fronting two streets can geocode to the wrong side — the report lands across the road from the pile it describes.

Bayview–Hunters Point / San Francisco

Less dumping.
Not just a tidier dashboard.

Aerbits’ reported Bayview 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.

For your department

A clear scope.
No operational surprises.

Your work-order process, coverage needs, and approval rules belong in the conversation from the start.

Get the pilot discussion brief

A printable checklist to share with your team.

How does this fit our work-order system?

Start with your existing reporting and dispatch workflow. In the pilot discussion, we’ll review the systems you use, data exchange requirements, and who can update or close a record. Confirm compatibility before committing; this page does not promise an integration with every platform.

What can a flight actually verify?

Aerial imagery documents visible conditions within the surveyed area. Weather, airspace, trees, and structures can limit coverage. Agree on the survey boundary, cadence, and a ground-check process for obscured sites. A pile that cannot be seen should not be assumed clean.

Who controls updates and closures?

Define the evidence standard, review responsibilities, closure permissions, and correction process with your department before launch. Those decisions should be part of the pilot scope, not something your crews discover in the field.

What about privacy and data?

Aerbits is focused on illegal dumping—not license plate reading, facial recognition, or law enforcement. Review imagery handling, retention, ownership, access, and security requirements with us during scoping.

What does it cost, and what does our team need to do?

Request a scoped proposal for your survey area and workflow. It should set out pricing, flight responsibilities, insurance requirements, staff involvement, implementation milestones, and any system dependencies before a purchasing decision.

Start with a decision you can measure

One area. A shared baseline.
A clear decision about what comes next.

A proposed pilot approach—not a commitment to a citywide rollout.

  1. 01 / Scope

    Pick the problem area.

    Agree on the boundary, survey schedule, work-order workflow, and responsibilities.

  2. 02 / Measure

    Track what changes.

    Compare active dumpsites, verified cleanup times, and avoidable verification trips against the baseline.

  3. 03 / Decide

    Review before expanding.

    Look at the evidence with your team. Decide whether to adjust, expand, or stop.
