Big city waste collection is set to get smarter


Sensoneo’s management platform will soon help Madrid optimise its waste collection. — AFP Relaxnews

Madrid is rolling out the largest intelligent waste monitoring solution ever implemented in a major city. The idea behind the program is to optimise waste collection and thus reduce waste-related issues such as air pollution, noise and traffic jams.

Slovakian startup Sensoneo, a specialist in intelligent waste management, is inaugurating its largest ever system in Madrid, in collaboration with local authorities. A total of 11,100 sensors will be progressively installed in waste receptacles, whether dedicated to light packaging, textiles, glass, organic waste or general waste. They are intended to monitor the level of waste in each bin.
