What is a smart bin and how does it work?

The UK population has grown year-on-year since 1982. This means more consumption, resulting in greater levels of rubbish and recycling to manage and collect. Overcrowded bins, high-traffic areas with no waste containers, and poor recycling practices contribute to inefficient waste management. Investing heavily in technology is the next step in overcoming some of the waste management industry’s biggest challenges. Cue the smart bin, which uses data to manage waste in big cities and public places effectively. While still rare on our shores,  they can encourage sustainable waste management and help improve waste collection, transportation, and recycling efficiency. Let’s lift the lid on smart bins and learn more about them. What is a smart bin? Smart bins are waste containers with an intelligent system that provides detailed insights into the amount of waste inside the bin and the types it receives.
