Beginning this week, the City of Regina is enlisting the help of robots to perfect its recycling program. Until the end of October, Regina will use a new automated technology developed by Prairie Robotics to check the contents of blue recycling carts. The city said this is a continuation of its CartSmart Program to help encourage proper garbage and recycling sorting. A camera installed on a recycling truck will take an image of the blue cart's contents when it is emptied. The city said the new robotic technology will allow it to educate more residents and increase the number of blue recycling carts checked from 2,000 in 2020 to 10,000 in 2021.
