Recycling & waste management

The reports your systems were never built to produce.

Customers and regulators ask for numbers your collection software can't summarize the way they want it. For more than twenty years, MDM Analytics has designed, built, and hosted the systems that close that gap — for haulers, recyclers, cities, and counties.

Who we serve

Three sides of the same reporting problem.

A hauler owes reports to every city it serves. A city needs those reports to hold its haulers to contract. Everyone in between has a regulator asking for the same numbers in a different format. We build for all three.

Collectors & recyclers

Extend what your collection software does

The information the cities ask for is already captured in TRUX, Tower, or Soft-Pak — it just isn't summarized the way a franchise agreement wants it. We work from your Excel or CSV exports, or connect directly where a data portal or API exists.

  • Compliance reports
  • City and county reports
  • Performance monitoring
  • Customer portals
  • Report distribution
Cities & counties

Tools for running the program

Knowing what was collected, where it was processed, and how much was recovered is the whole job. Receive hauler reports automatically, summarize them for elected officials, and give residents and businesses something back.

  • Monthly and annual recovery rates by program and hauler
  • Hauler compliance against contract requirements
  • Greenhouse gas reductions using U.S. EPA emission factors
  • Progress against local and state targets
Reporting entities

Compliance, simplified

You operate in a regulation-driven industry, so the cost of compliance is a cost of doing business. The point is to meet new requirements without adding staff time to every period.

  • Fully-managed cloud systems
  • Customized in-house systems
  • Mobile apps for tablet and phone
  • Barcode and scanning solutions

What we build

Designed, implemented, and hosted.

We build the system, we run it, and we are still running it years later — which is why some of our platforms have been in daily use since 2012.

01
Data capture
New capture methods where the data doesn't exist yet — forms, mobile entry, barcode and scanning.
02
System integration
Excel and CSV exports from your existing software, or a direct link through a data portal or API.
03
Report generation
Summary and detail reports by date range, material, hauler, and facility — as PDF or Excel.
04
Report distribution
Getting the finished report to the city, the agency, and the customer without anyone attaching a file.
05
Emissions calculation
GHG reductions from recycling and composting programs, using U.S. EPA or other emission factors.
06
Document management
Online catalogs for the documents, agreements, invoices, and photographs that have to be produced on request.
07
Mobile data access
Tablet and phone apps for field crews, inspections, and remote data entry.
08
Hosting and operation
We host what we build, keep it running, and adapt it as the regulations change.

Newest from MDM Analytics

256Metrix

Our newest platform, built for the operators who run the facilities — transfer stations, MRFs, and the companies hauling into them. 256Metrix turns the scale ticket and billing data you already export into the compliance, customer, and service area reports you owe every period.

It sits on top of the system you already run. Your scale and billing codes map to the platform once and stay mapped, so month-end stops being a workbook someone rebuilds by hand and becomes a report you pick from a drop-down. Forty-plus reports, a custom query builder, dashboards and facility scorecards, and an AI assistant that works inside your data rather than outside it.

About MDM

Twenty years in one industry.

MDM Analytics, Inc. has provided consulting and data management services to companies and public agencies in recycling and waste management for more than twenty years. Hauling companies including Republic Services, Waste Management, and Universal Waste Systems use our systems to report their collection activity to the cities where they hold accounts and franchises. We also host and manage proprietary cloud systems for cities, counties, and private haulers.

Why the work lasts

Regulations change, and a reporting system that can't change with them becomes a spreadsheet again. We stay with the systems we build — hosting them, updating them as requirements shift, and adding to them as clients grow. That is why FacilityStats is still running fourteen years after it launched.

How engagements start

Usually with a report someone has to produce and can't. Tell us what is being asked of you, what system your data lives in today, and how you are handling it now. If one of our platforms fits, we will say so. If it needs a custom build, we will tell you that too.

Whether it is a new organics program, expanded recycling services, franchise reporting, or measuring the emissions savings your programs produce — start with the requirement and we will work back from it.
