<p>This system uses an electric pedestrian controlled vehicle with an appropriate combination of RFID tagging and data collection by mobile operatives and a robust database to provide the infrastructure that allows the collection, management and analysis of recycling data down to a household level. An additional benefit of the system is upward traceability from a recycling box to bag/cart/operator and downwards traceability from a bag via operator /cart to the recycling box. Users can therefore assess the effectiveness of a recycling scheme and the ability to "drill down" through the raw data to reporting on street or household level could facilitate the development of household "incentive" schemes. Analysis of raw data on the basis of geographical location and time allows maps of recycling "hot-spots" and trends to be identified.</p> |
