07 January 2026 - Waste management & urban cleanliness
In a rapidly evolving context of connected cities, urban cleanliness is becoming a strategic priority for local authorities.
Faced with increasingly complex recycling rules and rising user expectations, municipalities must rely on innovative, connected and data driven solutions.
CLS supports this transformation with EAZY COLLECTE, a range of solutions dedicated to the intelligent management of urban cleanliness.
By providing real time visibility over collection operations, route optimisation and precise monitoring of field interventions, EAZY COLLECTE enables local authorities to improve service quality, control operating costs and sustainably strengthen the image of a cleaner, more efficient and more resilient city.
In France, each resident produces several hundred kilograms of household waste every year, including a significant share of bulky waste. In a context of urban densification and increasing pressure on infrastructure, urban cleanliness has become a key indicator of territorial attractiveness and residents’ quality of life. Local authorities can no longer rely on a simple waste collection approach and must adopt a more strategic waste management model that balances operational performance, cost control and citizen satisfaction.
This is why cities are becoming increasingly intelligent, using digital technologies and data analysis to manage urban cleanliness more flexibly, optimise collection operations and efficiently integrate bulky waste collection into a global and sustainable strategy.

As connected cities continue to develop across France, urban cleanliness is emerging as a major strategic challenge for local authorities.
Bulky waste collection, in particular, requires innovative, connected and scalable solutions capable of meeting citizen expectations while complying with budgetary and environmental constraints.
By relying on solutions such as EAZY COLLECTE, cities can transform waste management into a more efficient, more transparent and better accepted service. By organising and optimising appointment based collection services, municipalities reduce unnecessary mileage and limit the time bulky waste remains in public spaces.
Bulky waste collection thus becomes a key pillar of urban cleanliness and a strong marker of social cohesion and quality of life.
To support local authorities in this transformation, CLS offers dedicated solutions for intelligent urban cleanliness management through its EAZY COLLECTE range. These solutions rely on data and connectivity to provide a clear, real time view of collection operations.
EAZY COLLECTE enables authorities to plan interventions, track vehicles, optimise routes, trace waste removal operations and analyse operational performance. This approach is particularly well suited to bulky waste management, which requires responsiveness, accuracy and strong coordination between field teams and municipal services.
By integrating these tools, local authorities improve service quality while reducing costs and environmental impact.

Urban cleanliness is now fully aligned with the ecological transition objectives pursued by innovative territories. Better organisation of collection routes helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, limit unnecessary travel and optimise resource use. Bulky waste collection, often perceived as a constraint, becomes a lever for both environmental and organisational improvement.
By improving traceability and planning, local authorities can also promote better waste recovery and strengthen citizen awareness of best practices. Technology thus becomes a powerful tool in building cleaner, more responsible and more sustainable cities.
