It combines software and hardware to streamline transfer stations, fleets, and inventory, offering real-time data collection, truck tracking, reporting, and sustainability analytics.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- CurbWaste raised $28 million in October 2025, bringing total funding to $50 million.
- The company is hiring analytics talent in July 2026 for AI-powered features.
- RCI partnership expands CurbWaste from haulers into certification workflows and public verification.
What critics are saying
- CurbWaste still serves roughly 150 haulers; one large customer loss hits revenue hard.
- RCI’s phased rollout creates implementation failure risk if auditability or data integrity breaks.
- If proprietary waste platforms from WM or Republic replicate features, CurbWaste loses its wedge.
What makes CurbWaste unique
- CurbWaste is becoming RCI’s system of record for C&D certification nationwide, February 2026.
- Its Weighworks and CurbPOS stack unifies dispatch, billing, compliance, and transfer-station workflows.
- It targets independent haulers with industry-specific software, not generic ERP competitors.

Published February 24, 2026 CurbWaste, a New York-based company specializing in software solutions for waste management, has entered into a multiyear partnership with the Recycling Certification Institute (RCI) to serve as the institute's exclusive operational management and data platform for construction and demolition (C&D) recycling certification programs nationwide. Under the agreement, CurbWaste will become the RCI's system of record, supporting the full lifecycle of facility certification, including application management, data collection, evaluator review, compliance monitoring, billing, reporting and public verification. Headquartered in Sacramento, California, the RCI administers a third-party certification program designed to increase transparency and confidence in reported recovery and recycling rates across the C&D recycling ecosystem. The institute works with independent evaluators to verify facility performance and certify recovery outcomes relied upon by municipalities, project owners, architects, contractors and sustainability stakeholders. According to CurbWaste, the company's software platform will enable the RCI to modernize and digitize its certification operations while maintaining auditability and evaluator independence. CurbWaste says it will support standardized material tracking, automated recovery calculations, anomaly detection, evaluator workflows, subscription billing and compliance enforcement. The platform also will provide public-facing certification verification and reporting tools. "This partnership reflects the growing need for consistent, auditable data across the construction and demolition recycling ecosystem," Mike Marmo, CEO of CurbWaste, says. "Being selected by RCI reinforces our focus on supporting facilities, municipalities and contractors with operational software that meets real-world certification and compliance requirements." The transition will be phased and carefully managed in close coordination with RCI members and evaluators, CurbWaste says, with a focus on continuity, data integrity and long-term program sustainability. "Strengthening the infrastructure that supports credible recycling certification is our priority," John Thomas, managing partner of Berlin, New Jersey-based Waste & Recycling Solutions LLC of the RCI. "By aligning facility operations, certification workflows and reporting within a single system, we are improving consistency, transparency and confidence across the market."
