Trash Bin Monitoring

Fill-Level Monitoring for Indoor & Outdoor Bins

Overflowing waste bins don’t just create operational headaches – they leave a bad impression. Whether it’s a front-of-house can in a dining area or a trash bin in a remote parking lot, ConnectedFresh helps prevent overflows, reduce unnecessary checks, and keep your spaces clean without wasting labor hours.

Manual waste checks are inconsistent and inefficient. Teams often re-check half-full bins just to be safe, especially in outdoor or remote areas. Meanwhile, the bins that actually need attention get missed – creating messes, complaints, and longer cleanups.

ConnectedFresh sensors use real-time distance detection to measure bin fill levels and alert staff before overflows happen. That means your team focuses only where it’s needed – improving productivity without increasing headcount.

• Up to 50% fewer bin checks per shift
  Example: A facility with 20 bins checked 4x per day sees unnecessary checks cut in half, freeing up time for higher-value tasks.
• 30% less time spent on overflow cleanup
  Real-time alerts reduce full-bin misses, minimizing spills and messes that take longer to clean.
• Improved labor productivity – up to 7.5 hours/day saved
  In a 30-bin facility, avoiding 3 unnecessary checks per bin (at 5 minutes each) adds up to 7.5 hours daily – the equivalent of $3,000/month in regained time.
