Give every bin its own identity.
A suitable UHF RFID label is applied to the bin and paired with its collection point, capacity and waste stream. The label has no battery. Its construction and protection are selected for outdoor conditions.
The truck detects the bin from a distance.
UHF RFID can identify labels over several meters, depending on the setup and environment. The read zone is tuned to distinguish nearby bins from events at the lifter.
The antenna identifies the bin during tipping.
During tipping, the bin enters the read zone above the hopper. Its identity is linked to the current lift cycle. WastePass distinguishes a handled bin from one merely detected near the vehicle. Repeated reads do not become additional collections.
An exception stays visible.
A bin behind a closed fence may be detected but remain inaccessible for collection. The dashboard shows “No lift recorded” for review. A missing confirmation alone is not proof that the service was missed.

Time, bin, vehicle, collection point and lift status form a traceable history. GPS can be added from the onboard unit. The municipality and operator compare plans, recorded events and billing using the same data.
