Automated Recycling Containers

by Vernon Ortiz

Automated recycling containers sort and compress waste. Learn how automated containers can help you organize the recyclables that are generated at your place of business.

Automated Equipment

Commercial recycling bins can be used to store plastic, paper, metal, and glass. The use of automated equipment eliminates sorting errors that could interfere with the manner in which you dispose of waste items.

If the company that picks up your recyclables requires that materials are properly sorted, the use of automated equipment will streamline the preparations that you need to conduct.

Automated equipment uses sensors to determine what type of waste has been added to a container. Once the material has been identified, mechanical parts will transfer the material to the proper holding chamber.

Additional Features

Some automated recycling bins contain a crusher. The crusher is responsible for flattening paper, cardboard, and plastic. Once recyclable materials are crushed, there will be more space within the sections where the materials are stored.

The crushing feature reduces the rate at which an automated recycling container needs to be emptied.

Automated equipment may also contain a digital display. The digital display will indicate the fill level within each storage section.

A Recycling App

Manufacturers of automated recycling containers may sell equipment that is designed to be used with an online application. An app will inform an end user of the status of their equipment.

Equipment can be monitored remotely. The information that can be retrieved through an app will tell an end user if the equipment is working properly. It will also indicate the volume of waste materials that are currently stored inside an automated container. The use of an app makes it simple to keep up with how many recyclable materials are being generated onsite. 

Equipment Installations

Automated recycling containers will need to be plugged in. Equipment should be professionally installed and programmed. Before you invest in this type of equipment, determine the number of recyclables that you currently dispose of on a monthly basis. Then, shop for containers that can adequately store the recyclables.

Equipment should be set up in areas that are easy to access. If you and your staff will be using the containers, request that a technician installs the containers in a breakroom or another private area that is off-limits to your customers.

If employees and patrons are going to be using the containers, have the equipment set up in a public area within your place of business. 

For more info about commercial recycling containers, contact a local company.
