Survey template: Citizen survey about waste collection service

Citizens want their feedback about local waste collection services to make a difference—but filling out old-school surveys is a pain. If you want to actually hear from your community, use and try this AI survey template by Specific. It makes getting valuable feedback easy, conversational, and effective.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for citizens?

Most traditional Citizen waste collection service surveys end up with half-finished answers and too much effort on both ends. With an AI survey template, the experience feels like a natural chat—it’s not just easier for your citizens, but delivers more honest and useful data for you.

Historically, manual surveys struggle to keep people engaged: completion rates hover around 45-50%. But AI-powered surveys have raised the bar dramatically, achieving completion rates of 70-80%. That’s a leap driven by their ability to personalize and adapt to every respondent, so citizens don’t tune out halfway through. [1]

We’ve seen this firsthand at Specific—our conversational survey tools help both creators and respondents glide through the process. Plus, the feedback is richer since people find the experience more like messaging a helpful assistant than filling out a form.

Why use AI for citizen surveys?

• More responses, better data: Personalized and conversational flow keeps people answering to the end [1].

• Fast analysis: AI processes results in minutes—no more waiting weeks to act on feedback [2].

• Smoother experience: Our conversational survey engine from Specific turns unintuitive forms into friendly dialogues.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Blank answers and unclear comments—sound familiar? Specific’s automatic AI follow-up question feature fixes this. Every time a citizen gives a short or ambiguous answer, our AI asks a smart, context-aware follow-up—just like a seasoned interviewer would. The follow-ups happen instantly, making the conversation natural and drawing out full context for richer insights.

Take a look at how it can go wrong with traditional surveys, and how AI makes it better:

• Citizen: "Trash pickup is fine."

• AI follow-up: "Could you share more about what you like most or what could be improved with your trash pickup service?"

Without the follow-up, you’d be left guessing what “fine” means. But with Specific’s AI, you get clear details—no back-and-forth emails needed. It saves hours and keeps everyone engaged.

If you’ve never tried a conversational survey with automated follow-ups, now’s the moment. Generate one and see how it turns vague responses into actionable clarity.

Ultimately, these follow-up questions are what make a survey conversational, turning static forms into real back-and-forth conversations.

Easy editing, like magic

Changing this AI survey template is as simple as chatting. Want to tweak a question or switch the survey’s tone? Just describe what you want, and Specific’s AI survey editor will update the template instantly, using expert knowledge of survey best practices. You can edit even big or complex templates in seconds; no more wrestling with endless form fields or wondering if you “broke” the logic. Let AI do the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters—listening to your citizens.

Survey delivery: landing page or in-product surveys

Getting the survey to citizens should be effortless. With Specific, you have both flexibility and control:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect for waste collection feedback. Just share the link by email, on a city website, social media, or in newsletters. Citizens can open on any device and start chatting.

• In-product surveys: Ideal where residents interact with local apps or digital portals (paying bills, reporting issues, city services). The survey pops up at the right moment, prompting feedback within the flow.

For most waste collection service feedback, a sharable landing page survey gets the broadest reach, especially if you want input from a diverse group of residents who might not regularly use digital city portals.

Our AI survey response analysis finds key topics, detects recurring themes, and instantly summarizes the results—no manual coding or Excel wrangling required.
