In this episode of Waste Nexus, hosts Brian Dolan and Charlie Dolan of DSQ Technology break down the key findings from the 2026 Waste Management Tech Trends Report, offering a candid look at how AI is actually being used inside waste management today.

The report reveals a clear pattern across the industry: while personal use of AI and informal experimentation is widespread, most companies lack the documentation, governance, and operational processes required to turn AI into a true driver of scale and efficiency. Brian and Charlie explore why so much AI adoption stalls at the “cool demo” stage—and what it really takes to move from tinkering to tangible impact.

Brian and Charlie also explore the shift from AI as a toy to AI as a tool, outlining practical steps operators and leaders can take to formalize usage, embed AI into workflows, and align technology adoption with real operational outcomes. Moving past the AI hype cycle, the episode emphasizes discipline, process design, and leadership intent as the foundations for meaningful change in the waste industry.
