Smart City/Waste Management

Waste & Fill Level

Collect When Needed. Not Just When Scheduled.

IoT-powered fill-level monitoring for bins, compactors, recycling containers, and waste collection operations.

BoxTech enables solution providers and businesses to build connected waste-management solutions using fill-level sensors, gateways, connectivity, and centralized dashboards—providing continuous visibility into how full containers are and helping optimize collection.

The Challenge

Collecting on a fixed schedule doesn't reflect real demand.

Fixed collection schedules often lead to overflowing bins in some places and half-empty pickups in others. Common challenges include :

Overflowing bins and litter
Collection trucks visiting containers that are not full
Fixed routes that do not match actual need
High fuel and labor costs
Manual checks of bins and compactors
Complaints from residents and customers
Little data on waste generation patterns
Managing many containers across large areas

The BoxTech Solution

Turn every container into a connected data point.

BoxTech provides the hardware and technical ecosystem required to build scalable waste and fill-level solutions.

Sensors inside or on containers measure how full they are, while IoT gateways send the data to a centralized platform.

Operators can view live fill levels, receive alerts, and plan collection routes from a single dashboard.

How It Works

From fill level to smarter collection.

Connected sensors capture container conditions, gateways transfer the data, and the platform turns that information into alerts, collection decisions, and historical insight.

01

Sense

Fill-level sensors measure how full bins, compactors, and recycling containers are.

02

Connect

IoT gateways transfer sensor data using suitable connectivity such as LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, cellular, or other supported technologies.

03

Monitor

Fill levels for all containers are displayed on a centralized IoT dashboard.

04

Alert

When a container reaches a set level, the system can trigger alerts through SMS, email, or application notifications.

05

Optimize & Report

Fill data supports smarter collection routes and helps analyze waste patterns over time.

Key Capabilities

Everything needed for smarter waste operations.

A connected monitoring layer gives operators visibility into fill levels, container health, collection demand, and waste patterns across the network.

01

Real-Time Fill-Level Monitoring

See how full each container is at any time.

02

Threshold & Overflow Alerts

Get notified before containers overflow.

03

Route Optimization Support

Use live data to plan collection where it is needed.

04

Compactor Monitoring

Track fill status of compactors and large containers.

05

Recycling Stream Visibility

Monitor different waste and recycling streams separately.

06

Collection Analytics

Review fill rates, collection frequency, and hotspots.

07

Battery & Device Health

Monitor sensor status for reliable operation.

08

Scalable Architecture

Start with a few containers and expand to thousands across a city or region.

Use Cases

Built for waste operations of every scale.

From public bins and campuses to commercial compactors and industrial containers, connected fill-level monitoring can support different collection environments.

01

Municipalities & Smart Cities

Optimize collection for public bins and street containers.

02

Waste Collection Companies

Reduce unnecessary pickups and plan routes with live data.

03

Commercial Buildings & Malls

Keep waste areas clean and manage compactors.

04

Industrial & Manufacturing

Monitor bulk waste and scrap containers.

05

Universities & Campuses

Manage bins and recycling points across large areas.

06

Parks, Events & Public Spaces

Keep public areas clean during busy periods.
