Small, compact and tamper-proof sensors fit any container in minutes. Data reaches your dashboard without any internet connection on-site - works anywhere in the UK.
Sensors report the exact fill percentage of every bin in your network at all times. Know what needs emptying before you dispatch a single vehicle.
Dashboard insights direct collection teams only to bins that actually need emptying. Significantly reduce vehicle mileage, cut CO₂ and lower fuel costs.
Temperature and lid-position sensors detect potential people, animals or fires inside bins. Custom SMS or email alerts trigger instantly so the right person can respond.
Compare general waste and recycling usage across locations and over time. Identify underperforming recycling hotspots and direct policy changes with real data.
The HGV driver shortage hits waste management hard. Using fill-level data to prioritise collections means fewer vehicles do more, helping you deliver with reduced headcount.
Overflowing bins scatter litter into parks, fields and the sea. Ensuring emptying before overflow - and receiving open-lid notifications - stops environmental damage at source.
Keyring fobs identify and compare bin usage by commercial clients - enabling accurate attribution of recycling volumes and fair billing based on actual usage data.
No internet connection on site. No mains power. No specialist installer. A complete managed package removes the need to deal with multiple vendors.
Compact, tamper-proof sensors clip or bolt into almost any container type in minutes. Wheelie bins, street bins, front loaders, recycling units - all supported without tools.
Sensors transmit fill levels, temperature and lid status over the cellular network. No Wi-Fi, no on-site internet required - works anywhere across the UK.
Your tailored online dashboard visualises fill levels across your estate, highlights approaching-full bins and fires custom alerts by email or SMS the moment thresholds are breached.
Routes informed by real fill data mean vehicles only visit bins that actually need emptying. Fewer miles, lower emissions, lower cost - continuously improving over time.
