Abstract
The present disclosure describes a computer-implemented method for determining and reporting compliance with rules regarding discarded material from an originating site. The method may include obtaining, for each batch of a plurality of batches of discarded material, identification information of a respective originating site, capturing image data for each batch and associating the identification and image data. The identification and image data may be sent to a server having rules regarding the discarded material. The server may then determine data regarding compliance and generate a report including data regarding compliance with the rules regarding the discarded material for each originating site.
Claims12
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining, for each batch of a plurality of batches of discarded material, respective identification information identifying a respective originating site of the batch of discarded material;
- capturing, with an image capture device, for each batch of the plurality of batches of discarded material, respective image data, wherein the batch of discarded material has content comprising an inorganic material, an organic material, or a recyclable material;
- associating, for each batch of the plurality of batches of discarded material, the respective image data of the batch of discarded material and the respective identification information of the batch of discarded material;
- electronically sending, for each batch of the plurality of batches of discarded material, the associated respective image data and the respective identification information to a server;
- providing, to the server, rules regarding the discarded material;
- processing, with the server, for each batch of the plurality of batches of discarded material, the respective image data to identify the respective content of the batch of discarded material;
- determining, with the server, data regarding compliance with the rules regarding the discarded material based on the content of each batch;
- and
- generating, with the server, a report, wherein the report comprises the data regarding compliance with the rules regarding the discarded material for each originating site.
