This solution is aligned with features 31 “Waste module” and 33 “Cleaning module” of the Smart Tourism Destinations Platform.

With the expected increase in the population in cities, improving the efficiency of waste collection is a key element in daily life.

Currently, waste management has a lot of room for improvement both from an economic point of view and from a citizen’s point of view. This is due to different factors such as the fact that the containers fill up in an unpredictable way, which sometimes causes waste to appear on public roads and contaminate the environment

Using IoT sensors, it is possible to know the filling status of waste containers, tanks and cisterns. Thanks to the data collected, collection routes are planned more efficiently, reducing collection costs and improving the quality of life of residents.

This solution monitors the data collected by sensors placed on waste containers, and you can set up alarms (data analysis about fill levels, temperatures, opening and closing, batteries, fire, spillages, displacement, etc.): The solution’s benefits are as follows:

• Improved service operation: Optimal collection routes based on fill levels, optimising resources
• Reduction of environmental impact: container overflow detection and optimisation of collection frequency.
• Availability of operational information on the service
• Savings of 10–15% of collection costs
• Route optimisation: 3%-15%.
• Better containers and a constantly updated inventory: 3%-18%.
• Less time spent on planning routes and tasks: 5%-15%.
