Equipment for collecting household waste, comprises electronically identifiable dustbins and collection vehicles able to identify them and record parameters to show costs on an Internet site

摘要

Dustbins (1,2) have electronic identifiers (3,4) which are read by radioelectric detectors mounted on the traps of collection vehicles (6). An on-board microprocessor (11) with memories (13,14) receives the data and associates it with weight data obtained from the dustbin lifting mechanism (8). The information is sent to an Internet site (21) by a transmitter (18) connected to a mobile base station (19) and switched telephone network (20) Independent claims are made for the methods used to collect data and present cost information
