Dumping sites had been divided into three areas, with three days allotted to complete the documentation. Workers were in the field for an average of six hours each day. By noon on the first day, they had identified nearly 200 dumping sites. By the end of the second day, some 400 additional sites had been documented, and by the end of the project nearly 800 sites were identified. As the data was collected, it was automatically synced to a central server. This boosted productivity since workers didn't have to return to the office for manual entry. Data was transferred to the cloud for easy access and to keep all project members in the field and in the office up to date on the cleanup progress. Once the dumping sites were identified, CommUniverCity created maps so that GreenTeam, the City's solid waste contractor, could easily find the sites and clean up the illegal dumping materials. Project leaders could also filter, sort and export additional data by form attributes, which provided critical information to city officials on the type of trash being dumped or the amount of materials collected. Because data was centralized and organized, the city could later conduct more detailed analysis by area and demographics. Since this project is the first phase of a more comprehensive cleanup campaign, such detailed analysis will be critical: San José plans to use the data captured as a baseline for future assessments and community outreach, with the goal to eventually help deter illegal dumping and efficiently clean up illegally dumped materials. With Trimble TerraFlex, the city not only collected the data quickly and accurately, but more importantly, it continues to leverage that information to ensure a cleaner, safer city today and in the future. Using TerraFlex, San José has scored a real touchdown. "TerraFlex enabled us to quickly and effectively assess the study area." Galadriel Burr CommUniverCity Project Coordinator
