Container Monitoring Sensors
Smart sensors for underground and surface containers, construction-waste containers and wheelie bins - real-time fill and location data, straight into the MIS26 platform
- Collection by actual fill instead of a blind schedule - fewer trips, fewer overflows
- Every container and cart located, documented and controlled - an end to loss and theft
- Real data for container planning: where capacity is missing, where it is excessive and where frequency should change
- Fixed-schedule collection - trucks reach empty bins or arrive late to overflowing ones
- No visibility into underground containers - the resident's complaint is the only sensor
- Construction containers and carts drift, get stolen or rented out with no oversight - nobody knows where they are or how they are used
A sensor array matched to every container type: ultrasonic fill sensors for underground and surface containers measuring waste level, temperature and tilt over a low-power cellular network; and rugged tracking units for construction-waste containers and wheelie bins reporting location, movement and lift events. Everything flows into the MIS26 platform and is cross-checked against truck data - one live picture of the entire container fleet.

How does it work?
Mapping & scoping
Which containers to monitor and with which technology - by container type, collection frequency and field issues
Fast installation
Minutes per container, no infrastructure - the sensor transmits independently over cellular
Real-time data
Fill levels, locations and alerts flow to the dashboard and the app
Optimization
Frequencies and routes update by actual fill - and cross-checks against truck data close the loop
Key Capabilities
Fill sensors for underground & surface bins
Ultrasonic waste-level measurement across container types - underground, surface and recycling - with temperature reporting, fire detection and tilt sensing, on a battery lasting years of continuous work
Tracking units for containers & carts
Rugged, waterproof units for construction containers, compactors and wheelie bins: live location, movement history, lift and tip detection and geofence-exit alerts
Fill forecasting & collection planning
The system learns each container's fill pace and predicts when it will be full - collection routes are built on actual need, not habit
Full platform integration
Sensor data appears on the same dashboard next to truck and weighbridge data - automatic cross-checking between reported fill, actual collection and station weighing
System Features
- Fits underground and surface bins, recycling containers, compactors, roll-off containers and wheelie bins
- Smart alerts: nearing full, abnormal heat, tilt, unauthorized movement
- Multi-year battery and field-grade durability - inside and outside the bin
- Data lives on the same platform as trucks, weighbridges and dispatch - no extra system

Which containers do the sensors fit?
Underground and surface bins, recycling containers, compactors, construction-waste containers and wheelie bins - each type gets the right sensor technology: ultrasonic fill measurement or a location-and-motion unit.
How long does the battery last, and what about maintenance?
The sensors are built for years of continuous work on a single battery, sealed against water, dust and the harsh environment inside containers - and the system warns ahead when a battery runs low.
How does the data connect to the collection operation?
Fill and location data flow into the same MIS26 platform that runs the trucks and weighbridges - collection routes update by actual fill, and cross-checks against lift data close the control loop.
Does this replace the truck systems?
No - it complements them. Trucks document execution, sensors report the need, and the platform connects the two for precise collection planning.
