Waste overflows are one of the most common pain points for both councils and waste contractors. Traditional “fixed schedule” collections don’t take into account whether bins are actually full or empty — leading to missed opportunities or wasted resources.

Why It Matters

Fill level monitoring uses real-time sensors to track the volume of waste inside each bin. This allows operations teams to see, at a glance, which bins need urgent attention and which can wait. The result? Fewer overflows, better allocation of collection trucks, and happier customers.

The Payoff

• Reduces health and safety risks caused by overflowing waste.

• Optimises collection frequency, preventing unnecessary trips.

• Improves customer satisfaction and compliance with service agreements.

  
  

Takeaway: Real-time visibility is the first step to moving from reactive waste management to proactive, efficient operations.
