The Irish-based company already has advanced technology solutions in place with major corporations and government municipalities around the world and is currently bringing new efficiencies and cost savings to the increasingly critical arena of recycled waste management in the United States. 

“Our focus is on solving problems by providing innovative technology solutions that cut costs and emissions, and help to optimize business processes,” explains Mark McCarville, Founder & CEO of SmartBin, which was established in 2003. 

Companies and individuals across the world are facing increased regulation of how their recyclable waste is managed, such as residents of the European Union, which has mandated that companies now recycle at least 75 percent of their industrial waste and that households recycle at least 50 percent of their waste. While all of this is ultimately an advantage to the entire planet, achieving these benchmarks will require significant initiative and innovation.

To avoid wasteful allocations of resources, SmartBin’s technology brilliantly combines innovative wireless telemetry and web access technologies, measuring bin fill-level via infrared or ultrasonic technology sensors.  The sensors, which vary with the designated product in the bin, automatically send that information via standard cellular networks to SmartBin’s host servers, where customers can organize and use it to vastly increase efficiency.

McCarville points to this increasingly comprehensive legislative regulation on recycled waste to underscore the importance of the technology-based bin management. “That’s been driven home all the more due to the economic downturn, which has made it imperative that both business and government analyze what they’re paying for and what they’re getting,” he says. “Are they paying for a milk run every time a collection vehicle goes to make a pickup at a waste materials collection bin only to find it half empty?”

Applied to recycled materials, document destruction, medical waste and electronic waste (e-waste), SmartBin’s technology will keep its users ahead of the compliance curve. “SmartBin will make the entire process of waste materials collection so much more integral to the normal course of business, governing and day-to-day life,” McCarville states. “SmartBin intends to partner with companies, governments and businesses to make the management of waste materials easier, more efficient and more effective, while actually lowering costs and increasing profits.”

Established in 2003, SmartBin is the global leader in remote monitoring and management systems for the waste collection industry. SmartBin's focus is on solving problems by providing innovative technology solutions that cut costs and emissions, and help to optimize business processes leading directly to increased profits for clients.
