About
Greener Israel is developing Connect, a smart bin for waste management in public spaces. Its system is based on solar energy and includes a wireless internet network and sensors for collecting and analyzing data on pedestrian traffic, noise, air pollution, lighting, and more. In addition, the system can send targeted messages to the public in the systems area, including emergency alerts and marketing messages. The system also includes a sensor that measures the amount of garbage in the bin and reports to a control center when the bin is ready to be emptied. The sensor collects data on the number and timing of pickups; measures efficiency; and calculates statistics, analyzes load hours, reports the location of the bin in real time, and optimizes its location relative to the environment. The smart bin is sealed and secured for weather resistance and to prevent odors and penetration by pests and animals. Greener Israel is collaborating with Bigbelly, a world-renowned platform for building smart cities and transforming the world of waste management.
