Smart Bin Technology
The North America smart trash bin market size was valued at $21.2 million USD in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.3% from 2024 to 2030.
Smart bins are waste and recycling units equipped with technology such as sensors, data collection and app-based access. Designed to support smarter, more sustainable cities, they help monitor fill levels, encourage better waste habits and streamline collection services. By using the Internet of Things (IoT) and real-time data, smart bins can transform traditional waste management into a more efficient and responsive system.
Smart bins change trash practices by providing real-time feedback on waste disposal and collection. They help cities plan collections more efficiently, saving time, fuel and money. They also encourage better user behaviour by making individuals more aware of their disposal habits. By reducing overflow, improving recycling rates and promoting hygiene through touchless access, smart bins play an important role in driving waste reduction and sustainability in our communities.
metroSTOR smart bins integrate sensor technology that monitors fill levels, sending alerts when units need emptying. Access control features such as the metroKEY app support secure and organised use of waste streams. The web portal allows administrators to monitor unit status, analyse usage data and engage users with targeted messaging. The result is a cleaner, more efficient and data-driven approach to managing public waste and recycling facilities.
