Autonomous refuse container replacement system

A method for managing autonomous robotic refuse container replacement of at least two robotic refuse containers comprising:

• transmitting, by a processor of a first robotic refuse container, a request for replacement to at least a portion of processors of each of the at least two robotic refuse containers;
• receiving, by the processor of the first robotic refuse container, a return signal from at least a portion of processors of each of the at least two robotic refuse containers that received the request for replacement;
• transmitting, by the processor of the first robotic refuse container, a confirmation for replacement to a processor of a second robotic refuse container in response to a return signal received from the processor of the second robotic refuse container from among all the return signals received;
• instructing, by the processor of the first robotic refuse container, the first robotic refuse container to navigate to a second location from a current location;
• and
• instructing, by the processor of the second robotic refuse container, the second robotic refuse container to navigate to the current location of the first robotic refuse container,
• wherein:
• the portion of processors of each of the at least two robotic refuse containers that receive the request for replacement are within a first predetermined distance from the first robotic refuse container;
• and
• the processor of the first robotic refuse container increases the first predetermined distance to a second predetermined distance when the processor of the first robotic refuse container does not receive any return signals.
