Empty only what's full. Drive only what's needed.
IoTX Smart Waste combines real-time bin fill-level monitoring with dynamic route optimisation — so collection crews arrive at the right bins at the right time, cutting unnecessary journeys and keeping streets clean.
↓ 35%
Unnecessary collections eliminated
Crews are dispatched only to bins that are near-full or overflowing. Empty or half-full bins are skipped entirely, reducing collection runs and freeing up vehicle capacity.
↓ 25%
Fuel and operating cost reduction
Dynamic routes generated from live fill-level data replace fixed schedules, cutting total vehicle kilometres driven and the associated fuel, maintenance, and labour costs.
100%
Waste infrastructure visibility
Every bin in the city is tracked on a live map with its current fill level, last-emptied timestamp, and alert status — giving operations teams complete situational awareness at all times.
↓ 80%
Overflow incidents reported by citizens
Near-full alerts trigger collection dispatch before bins overflow, dramatically reducing the number of citizen complaints and the reputational impact of visible waste on city streets.
From sensor to clean street — fully automated.
Fill-level sensors reporting in real time
Ultrasonic sensors fitted to each bin continuously measure fill level and transmit readings to the IoTX platform. Operations teams see the exact fill percentage of every bin across the city — updated throughout the day.
Overflow and near-full alerts to operations teams
When a bin crosses a configurable fill threshold, an alert is raised automatically and routed to the duty supervisor. Teams can act before overflow occurs — not after a citizen complaint arrives.
Dynamic collection route optimisation
Each morning — or on demand — the platform generates optimised collection routes based on current fill levels. Vehicles visit only the bins that need emptying, in the most efficient order, minimising total distance driven.
Scheduled vs on-demand collection management
Operators can run fixed scheduled collections, switch to fully demand-driven dispatch, or blend both — for example, maintaining a minimum weekly schedule while adding on-demand runs for high-traffic areas during events.
Fleet tracking for waste collection vehicles
Every collection vehicle is tracked live on the city map. Operators see which routes are in progress, which bins have been emptied, and where each vehicle is at any moment — enabling real-time coordination and proof-of-service reporting.
City-wide waste map with per-bin status
An interactive map displays every bin in the network colour-coded by fill level — green, amber, or red. Supervisors can drill into any bin for its full history, sensor readings, and maintenance log without leaving the dashboard.
Citizen reporting integration
Citizens can report a full or overflowing bin through the city's mobile app or portal. Reports are ingested directly into the IoTX platform, geo-matched to the nearest bin record, and queued for dispatch — closing the loop between residents and operations.
Smarter collection from sensor to empty bin
Every bin reports its fill level continuously
Sensors fitted to each bin transmit fill-level readings to the IoTX platform throughout the day. The city-wide waste map updates in real time, giving operations teams an accurate picture of which bins need attention and which can wait.
Routes are generated from live data, not fixed schedules
When a collection run is triggered — on schedule or by an overflow alert — the platform calculates the most efficient route visiting only the bins that are near-full or flagged. Citizen reports and supervisor overrides are factored in automatically.
Crews arrive prepared. Every run is tracked and verified.
Drivers follow the optimised route on their in-cab device. As each bin is emptied, the platform records the timestamp and resets the fill-level baseline. Supervisors see progress live; completed runs generate automatic proof-of-service reports.
Stop driving past empty bins.
