RFID waste bins

Description

The Smart Collection of Waste project, which has been in routine operation since 2020, is followed by a pilot project for RFID waste bins. Its main goal is to create a comprehensive tool for the detection of collection of top-load containers for sorted waste. Waste containers equipped with RFID chips will be detected using RFID readers located on the collection trucks. They will collect data to provide information on the actual collection of the monitored sample of containers for separated waste included in the pilot testing in the Capital City of Prague. Thanks to that, the Capital City of Prague and the collection companies will gain control over the collection actually taking place according to the set frequency. The pilot project will also help streamline the invoicing process for deliveries.
