Sunderland City Council, GB experiments with smart public bins for improved waste management

Sunderland City Council, GB Smart Public Bins Improved Waste

Complete

Solar-powered bins were installed for a pilot running through September 2022. Smart bins create five times the capacity of standard bins with the help of automated compactors. Compacted waste is deposited into wheeled containers for easy retrieval. Internal sensors gather data on how often and when bins are used for analyses of optimal collection schedules. Sunderland and BAI Communications are also evaluating how the sensor technology can be applied to other facets of city life.
