Dive Insight:

Doing business electronically will become more widespread across the industry as companies adopt the technology currently available. Digital solutions will streamline everything from trash removal services to finding the best company to handle waste removal—while simultaneously making things easier for the customer base. Other companies are already implementing digital solutions: Republic Services just added a mobile app to its "My Resources" online services.
