US 2026/0273581 A1 · SYSTEM FOR MONITORING WASTE COLLECTION

Abstract

Disclosed herein are device, method, and system aspects for facilitating the collection of compost from compost producers by compost collectors. An aspect includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a computing device. The first sensor is configured to determine the weight of an object. The second sensor is configured to detect methane. The computing device is configured to receive the sensor data. The computing device is further configured to retrieve a list of compost collectors. The computing device determines a compatibility between a compost producer and compost collector based on the sensor data, the list of collectors, and characteristics of the collectors. The computing device is also to rank the list of collectors based on the compatibility and export the results of the ranking.

Dependent claims

A device, comprising:

a first sensor configured to determine a weight of an object;
a second sensor configured to detect methane proximate to the second sensor;
and
a computing device configured to:
retrieve a list of collectors and one or more characteristics of the collectors corresponding to the device;
receive the weight of the object from the first sensor;
receive a methane detection measurement from the second sensor;
determine a freshness score based on the methane detection measurement;
determine a compatibility score based on one or more characteristics of the object and one or more characteristics of the collectors;
calculate a weighted score based on the freshness score and the compatibility score;
and
rank the list of collectors based on the weighted score, wherein a top-ranked collector in the list of collectors is notified about the object.
