VICTOR STANLEY
Smart Litter Receptacles Cut Waste Expense
JANUARY 2018 / COLLEGE PLANNING & MANAGEMENT 37
THE SMART LITTER RECEPTACLE (read: unsightly waste overflows. for thousands more currently in use world-
trash can) is coming to a campus near
you. Recently, Victor Stanley, a leading international manufacturer of premium out- door furnishings, released a new generation of receptacle. Smart enough, in fact, to save an estimated 20-40 percent on litter and recycling collection expenses. Knowing that a large university can easily generate
9 million pounds of waste in a year, the sav- ings potential is hard to ignore.
Victor Stanley’s Street Level SensingTM technology and RelayTM web interface inte- grate to become an intelligent waste manage- ment system. Using GPS and other sensors, the new receptacles continuously monitor and transmit fill level, temperature, weight, location, and more to a cloud-based portal.
Traditional static systems allow for some receptacles to overfill before they are col- lected—an aesthetic and olfactory nuisance, for sure—while others that sit empty are col- lected anyway. Victor Stanley’s new approach allocates resources only where and when they are needed. It not only saves time, it decreases fuel costs, carbon footprints, and
Street Level Sensing is available in the company’s new receptacles and as a retrofit
wide. Learn what it can do for your bottom
