Waste Management Systems
Radio Frequency Identification sensors allow municipalities to track tags attached to waste containers that let them know the number of times a container is set out for collection and the weight of its contents. This supports the implementation of incentive-based pay-as-you-throw systems, in which a fee is charged for garbage collection and rates increase as the amount of garbage thrown away increases. Local governments can use this as a financial incentive for residents to reduce waste and recycle, which can lead to lower transportation and disposal costs.
