SmartBin closed container monitor

Add visibility to your waste operations. SmartBin gauges and reports fill levels for virtually any closed container. Trash bins, clothing bins, used and fresh oil tanks, grease tanks, and more. Using ultrasonic measurement and wireless communication, it shows you container fullness so you can schedule pickup at exactly the right time, and centralize reporting through our integrable, cloud-based platform.

Why it matters

Right-time pickups for containers you can't see into

Closed containers hide their fill level, so pickups get scheduled on a calendar instead of on need. Too early wastes a pickup, too late means overflow. SmartBin measures fullness ultrasonically and reports it wirelessly, so pickups happen at the right time and the data rolls into centralized reporting. Sold directly to companies that manage their own waste programs, SmartBin puts that data in your hands so your team can optimize pickup schedules yourselves.

Why WHK

Why operators choose SmartBin

Fill-level monitoring for virtually any closed container

SmartBin gauges fill levels in trash bins, clothing bins, oil and grease tanks, and more, so closed containers stop hiding what's inside.

Ultrasonic measurement, non-intrusive to the container

An ultrasonic sensor measures fullness without modifying the container or touching its contents.

Wireless reporting, with antenna support for weak-signal sites

An on-board multi-band modem reports readings wirelessly, and a built-in antenna keeps data flowing where signal is poor.

Centralized reporting through an integrable, cloud-based platform

Fill-level data feeds WHK's cloud reporting platform, so pickups are timed right and reporting stays in one place.

FAQ

Common questions about our program and services.

What can SmartBin monitor?

Fill levels for virtually any closed container. Trash bins, clothing bins, used and fresh oil tanks, grease tanks, and more.

How does it measure fullness?

Ultrasonic measurement, reported wirelessly via an on-board modem.

How is it different from iWaste?

SmartBin is standalone equipment, sold directly to companies that manage their own waste programs and use the fill-level data to optimize their own pickup schedules. iWaste is almost always paired with a waste program managed by WHK, where our team acts on the data and rightsizes service for you.

Will it work where signal is weak?

Purpose-built antennas designed for any signal environment, so the unit stays connected wherever it's installed.

Do I need WHK managed services to use SmartBin?

No. SmartBin is typically sold directly to companies that manage their own programs. You own the equipment, and it's up to your team to diagnose and optimize pickup schedules with the data. Reporting still centralizes through our integrable, cloud-based platform.
