A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, tractive elements, a lift apparatus, and a reach assembly. The tractive elements couple with the chassis and support the refuse vehicle. The lift apparatus includes a track and a grabber assembly. The track includes a straight portion and a curved portion. The grabber assembly releasably grasps a refuse container and ascends or descends the track to lift and empty refuse into a body of the refuse vehicle. The reach assembly includes an outer member, a first extendable member, and a second extendable member. The first extendable member is received within an inner volume of the outer member and translates relative to the outer member. The second extendable member is received within an inner volume of the first extendable member and translates relative to the first extendable member. The lift apparatus is fixedly coupled at an outer end of the second extendable member.

An information processing device includes a control unit that executes: acquiring information on whether a trash bag placed in a trash can contains trash; and placing an order of a product related to the trash or the trash bag based on the number of times a state in which there is the trash in the trash bag is changed to a state in which there is no trash in the trash bag.

A trash compactor may include a frame, a cavity, a trash receptacle, a platen movable to compress trash collected in the trash receptacle, a set of linkages and a drive mechanism configured to drive said platen up and down, the drive mechanism further configured as one of the link elements, and a platen guide mechanism configured to restrict the motion of the platen in an up and down manner.

The present disclosure provides a waste/recycling receptacle protector/monitor for obtaining at least one objective for an individual. The waste/recycling receptacle protector/monitor includes a tension adjustable fastening module. The tension adjustable fastening module has first and second opposing ends that adapt to extend along at least one direction of a lid of a waste/recycling receptacle. The tension adjustable fastening module breaks apart under a predetermined opposable force preset by the individual. The at least one objective includes protection against at least one of theft of the waste/recycling receptacle, natural climate, personal data theft, and unauthorized dumping into the waste/recycling receptacle and surveillance of vicinity and one or more objects around the waste/recycling receptacle.

Disclosed is a waste management device including a housing attached to a waste bin. A plurality of sensors are configured to sense contents of the waste bin. The plurality of sensors are encased by the housing. A processor is electrically coupled to the plurality of sensors. The processor is configured to collect sensory information related to the contents of the waste bin from the plurality of sensors. The processor is encased by the housing. A wireless transmitter is electrically coupled to the processor. The wireless transmitter is configured to send the sensory information to a server, wherein the wireless transmitter is encased by the housing.

Disclosed is a waste management system and method including a plurality of waste management devices. Each waste management device further includes a plurality of sensors configured to sense contents of a waste bin. The device is configured to transmit sensory information from the plurality of sensors. The sensory information from the plurality of sensors and is related to the contents of the waste bin. A server configured to receive and store sensory information transmitted by the plurality of devices. The server stores a fill level of the waste bin based on the sensory information. A processor operably connected to the server, wherein the processor is configured to determine the fill level of the waste bin based on the sensory information. A user device configured to receive, store, and display the fill level of the waste bin.

A trashcan assembly can include a body portion, a lid portion pivotably coupled with the body portion, and a sensor assembly configured to generate a signal when an object is detected within a sensing region. The sensor assembly can include a plurality of transmitters having a first subset of transmitters and a second subset of transmitters. A transmission axis of at least one transmitter in the first subset of transmitters can be different from a transmission axis of at least one of the transmitters in the second subset of transmitters. An electronic processor can generate an electronic signal to a power-operated drive mechanism for moving the lid portion from a closed position to an open position, such as in response to the sensor assembly detecting the object.

Invention is about a measurement and tracking system for providing the periodical waste collection service on the right time in the large cities. And it is also about for the quick intervention in negative situations in the waste container.

A method for processing information from smart containers for use by trading systems comprises passing sensor data through a model in which it is converted into a standard form, in an accessible location, from which it can be consumed.

A waste collecting device includes an inlet unit, an acquisition unit configured to acquire waste information on waste thrown into the inlet unit, and a control unit configured to specify a category of the waste based on the waste information, determine whether the category of the waste matches a predetermined category, and output a determination result via an output unit.
