Wollongong, NSW tackles waste management issues on The Blue Mile with smart bin pilot

Wollongong, NSW Blue Mile Waste Management Smart Bin Pilot

Summer crowds at beaches and green spaces on The Blue Mile highlighted limited bin capacity. Local leaders approved a six-month pilot that affixes smart sensors to heavily used waste bins. The sensors gather data about real-time usage and alert staff to high fill levels for as-needed waste collection. Wollongong City Council will use pilot results to adjust bin types and frequencies while considering further smart bin installations.
