Peso da Rua — the city where the bin pays you back.

São Bernardo do Campo (City Hall)

São Bernardo do Campo (City Hall) case board — Peso da Rua — the city where the bin pays you back.
Every public bin in São Bernardo is fitted with an IoT scale. The bin weighs what each neighbourhood throws away. The cleanest neighbourhood — by kilo per resident — gets the next month's investment in public space: a renovated square, a new playground, paint for a school. The city stops thanking citizens with slogans and starts paying them back in concrete.
