A waste management system for associating a collected refuse bin with a corresponding user of that bin

摘要

A waste management system 100 for associating a collected refuse bin 103 with a corresponding user of that bin. The system comprises a GPS tracker unit onboard a collection vehicle 105 for recording the GPS co-ordinates of each refuse bin 103 during refuse collection therefrom by the collection vehicle 105. A central server 125 is configured for communication with each of a plurality of collection vehicles 105 so that the GPS co-ordinates of each refuse bin 103 collected during a refuse collection may be communicated to the central server 125. The server 125 is further configured to effect a datastore 130 lookup for comparing the GPS co-ordinates of the collected refuse bins 103 with pre-recorded geographical data of a plurality of users for associating each refuse bin 103 to a corresponding user.
