Smart Bin

Smart Bin utilises detectors in the bin which notify the collectors when it’s full which can decrease the amount of time it takes to collect full bins, and also lose less time if the collectors were to go to a bin, to find it empty.

By notifying the collectors when the bins are full, they can collect it quicker than if they were on a planned route, as one potential problem is that people can’t recycle because the bins are full, therefore they put their recycling in the waste bin instead. The smart bins system is able to be used for almost all types of recycling and general waste, which can again help stop people putting waste in the wrong bins because the others are full.
