A waste compression container collection control system includes: a waste compression container compressing and accommodating waste input thereto, discarded by users, and transmitting detection information, obtained by at least one sensor, in real time; a collection vehicle driver terminal of a collection vehicle driver of a collection vehicle collecting the waste compression container in which waste is accommodated; and a collection control server receiving at least one piece of detection information from the waste compression container, determining whether or not to collect the waste compression container using the received detection information, automatically assigning a collection vehicle to collect the waste compression container to be collected, and transmitting a collection instruction message to the corresponding collection vehicle driver terminal in real time.

A security bin formed from a commercially available rectangular plastic bin having removable lids that are secured to the bin to prevent unauthorized access to the items placed therein. The lids are locked with a tamperproof flap and latching hook to prevent access to the bin contents. Plexiglass windows allow viewing of materials placed within the bin. Spring pins allow ease of lid movement for access to the bin contents, or allow removal of the windows to allow stacking for storage and shipping. An optional scanner can be mounted to one of the lids for recording and tracking of storage media placed within the bin.

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.

Waste chute devices and methods for using the same are provided. In some embodiments, a method for operating waste chutes comprises: receiving, using a hardware processor of a waste chute device, an identity associated with a user of the waste chute device; in response to receiving the identity associated with the user, allowing, using the hardware processor, a door of the waste chute device to be opened; determining, using the hardware processor, a number of items and at least one type associated with the items that have been placed in an opening of the waste chute device; determining, using the hardware processor, that the door of the waste chute device has been closed; updating, using the hardware processor, information associated with the user based on the number of items and the at least one type of items that have been placed in the opening of the waste chute device; and providing, using the hardware processor, the user with the updated information.

An energy-saving and environment-friendly garbage disposal box capable of dispersing garbage, applicable to various areas, includes a domestic garbage disposal unit, a recyclable garbage disposal unit and a plastic garbage disposal unit. A pedal mashing device is provided to a rear portion of the domestic garbage disposal unit. The garbage disposal box is covered by solar panels and a computer display. An auto electronic weighing plate is provided to top the garbage disposal box. A set of mashing cutters is disposed inside the garbage disposal box to connect spatially with a fermentation area, and an organic fertilizer area is located under the fermentation area. The recyclable garbage disposal unit is furnished with a garbage entrance at an upper portion thereof and three external drawers corresponding to three recycle chambers. The plastic garbage disposal unit covered by solar panels is furnished thereinside a gravity compression iron and a battery set. The garbage disposal box provided by this patent disclosure and featured in flexible garbage dispersing functions can resolve environmental degradation caused by garbage piling and environmental pollution caused by the current garbage disposal means, and can also provide a possibility to maximize the garbage utilization rate.

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.

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.
