Service: Smart sensor waste containers

Responsible organisation: Municipality of Rotterdam (Local Government)

Sensors are installed in waste containers to measure how full the bins are. The 'filling degree meter' transmits the position every hour. This information is used to look at when the container can best be emptied. Drivers can see on a tablet which route to take next. The system prevents waste from accumulating next to an overcrowded container, while at the same time saving the garbage men from rides to empty bins.
