Atlanta, Georgia, July 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rubicon, a software company that provides smart waste and recycling solutions to businesses and governments worldwide, today announced the availability of RUBICONSmartCity™ on the Geotab Marketplace, a go-to source for top organizations seeking to better manage their fleets. Designed to improve service and reduce costs, RUBICONSmartCity equips city partners with a full-service software system for managing municipal waste and recycling collection in residential and commercial settings.
