Waste Routing
Optimize recycling and waste collection routes with support for vehicle capacity, service zones, time restrictions, multi-compartment trucks, and disposal or transfer station constraints.
Plan safer, more efficient recycling routes with software built for multi-stop truck operations, capacity constraints, service zones, and dynamic dispatch. NextBillion.ai helps recycling operators reduce miles, improve on-time pickups, manage complex collection rules, and keep route costs predictable with flexible deployment, enterprise-grade security, and fast implementation.
Purpose-built routing tools for recycling fleets, dispatch teams, and multi-stop collection operations.
Optimize recycling and waste collection routes with support for vehicle capacity, service zones, time restrictions, multi-compartment trucks, and disposal or transfer station constraints.
Build efficient multi-stop truck routes using 50+ operational constraints, including route duration, stop priority, vehicle limits, and dispatch-ready sequencing for daily collection plans.
Monitor recycling trucks in real time, compare planned versus actual routes, and respond faster to delays, missed pickups, idling, or route deviations during active shifts.
Create virtual boundaries for depots, transfer stations, customer sites, and restricted zones to automate arrival logs, service verification, and territory-based dispatch rules.
Guide drivers with truck-aware navigation that respects vehicle dimensions, road restrictions, and custom routing rules for safer, more reliable collection operations.
Adjust road attributes, closures, turn restrictions, and fleet-specific access rules so route plans reflect the real operating conditions your recycling trucks face.
NextBillion.ai gives recycling operators a routing platform designed for real-world collection work, not generic consumer maps. Plan dense multi-stop routes, account for truck size, compartment and capacity limits, enforce service territories, and adapt to changing daily volumes. With predictable per-vehicle or per-order pricing, fast go-live, and cloud or on-premise deployment, teams can scale routing without runaway API costs.

Co-Founder
Ajay Bulusu is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai, bringing deep expertise in geospatial technology and large-scale location platform engineering. His journey began in 2017 as part of Grab's pioneering Geo team, where he helped build the location infrastructure underpinning one of Southeast Asia's largest mobility and logistics platforms. That experience revealed how critical — and how underserved — accurate, flexible location technology was for real-world operations. Driven by a mission to democratize sophisticated location intelligence, Ajay co-launched NextBillion.ai in 2020. Under his technical leadership, the platform has scaled to serve 150+ businesses globally, optimize over 10.9 million deliveries and field tasks, and deliver more than $11 million in documented cost savings to customers.
Co-Founder
Gaurav Bubna drives product innovation at NextBillion.ai, bringing a proven track record of building successful products from scratch across ride-hailing, food delivery, and logistics. Before co-founding NextBillion.ai, Gaurav held product leadership roles at Grab, Ola, and Morgan Stanley — organizations where location technology and operational efficiency are existential. His time on Grab's Geo team alongside Ajay and Shaolin crystallized the vision: logistics and field service businesses needed enterprise-grade location intelligence without prohibitive per-call pricing. Since launching NextBillion.ai in 2020, Gaurav has led the product evolution that has helped the platform navigate over 557 million miles and raise $34.25M in venture capital from investors including Lightspeed and Microsoft's M12.
Co-Founder
Shaolin Zheng is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai, contributing deep technical expertise in geospatial systems and scalable mapping infrastructure. Like his co-founders, Shaolin's formative experience building location technology for Grab's Geo team gave him firsthand insight into the operational gaps that generic mapping solutions leave unaddressed — particularly for field service and logistics businesses operating at scale. His engineering perspective shapes NextBillion.ai's core philosophy: location technology must be customizable, cost-predictable, and production-reliable. The platform he helped build now powers GPS tracking, route optimization, and field service intelligence for over 150 businesses worldwide, with on-premise deployment options and SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certifications ensuring enterprise-grade security.
The best truck route planner is one that goes beyond basic mapping and accounts for commercial fleet constraints. For recycling and waste operations, that means vehicle-aware routing, multi-stop optimization, capacity limits, service zones, time restrictions, and dispatch workflows. NextBillion.ai is built for these operational needs, helping fleets generate truck-compliant, execution-ready routes instead of consumer-style directions.
