Waste management
Improving waste collection services can be achieved through sensing when bins need to be emptied and predicting when a bin is likely to be full again in the future. Battery-powered ultrasonic sensors, fitting inside the top of a bin can measure the level of waste and regularly report their status to a waste management team. This results in fewer wasted trips to empty part-filled bins, reducing costs-associated and vehicle emissions, reducing environmental impact.
