Trash and mess create frustration and additional costs!
Full used clothing containers harm your business
Overflowing used clothing containers are a daily nuisance for both citizens and operators. They lead to dirty locations, illegal dumping, complaints from residents, and inefficient collection trips. Municipalities and waste managers face the challenge of knowing exactly when a container needs emptying instead of following a fixed schedule.
Our smart waste solution automatically detects fill levels, reports overflows in real time, and ensures collections are done as needed.
Overflowing used clothing containers are a problem
- Containers report too late that they’re full
- Fewer clothing donations → lower revenue
- Bulky waste and trash piles around containers
- Unhappy citizens & rising complaints
- Unnecessarily high costs from inefficient collection trips
- Wasted resources & CO₂ emissions
These challenges are a thing of the past—with a sensor solution that detects the right moment.
Automatic fill-level detection
Our solution uses wireless sensors to continuously monitor the fill level of your used clothing containers. Once a critical threshold is reached, an alert is triggered—directly to your operations dashboard or municipal system.
This offers benefits such as:
- Fewer overflowing containers
- Accurate data instead of guesswork
- More efficient collection planning
- Reduced costs and CO₂ emissions
- Improved user satisfaction
Technology-agnostic and flexibly integrable
Sensor data is transmitted technology-independently—depending on the scenario via mioty, LoRaWAN, or mobile networks (NB-IoT / LTE-M). This allows choosing the optimal combination of range, energy efficiency, and reliability for each location.
How do the sensors in containers work?
Our sensors reliably measure the container fill level, even under challenging conditions. The data is transmitted via an energy-efficient wireless network—without high installation costs and without ongoing high mobile network fees.
- Wireless sensor nodes in the container measure fill levels
- Real-time data transmission to your management system
- Automatic alerts for overflows
- Collection scheduling based on actual need
This creates a data-driven process instead of a rigid fixed-schedule system.
Expansion via interfaces
With Pallax, all technical and organizational requirements are in place to turn sensor data into interactive maps that transparently show container fill levels online or in citizen apps.
Real-time data from the field is reliably collected, processed, and visually presented—clear, up-to-date, and accessible.
This helps citizens find empty containers faster, makes disposal processes more efficient, and allows municipalities to measurably improve service quality and control.
