System and method for managing waste services

A method for managing waste services, comprising:

• detecting a location of a service vehicle on a roadway by detecting a wireless signal being broadcast from a first target location and identifying a corresponding wireless signal transmitter making the broadcast;
• determining a side of the roadway at which the first target location is currently being serviced by the service vehicle based on a strength of the wireless signal;
• determining a proximity of the service vehicle to a second target location at which the waste services are to be performed, wherein the second target location is on the same side of the roadway as the first target location;
• and
• based on the proximity, automatically providing an estimated time of arrival to a customer corresponding to the second target location.

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer-executable programming instructions for performing a method of waste service management, the method comprising:

• detecting a location of a service vehicle on a roadway by detecting a wireless signal being broadcast from a first target location and identifying a corresponding wireless signal transmitter making the broadcast;
• determining a side of the roadway at which the first target location is currently being serviced by the service vehicle based on a strength of the wireless signal;
• determining a proximity of the service vehicle to a second target location at which waste services are to be performed, wherein the second target location is on the same side of the roadway as the first target location;
• based on the proximity, automatically provide an estimated time of arrival to a customer corresponding to the second target location;
• determining that the waste services have been completed at the second target location;
• and
• automatically alerting the customer corresponding to the second location that the waste services have been completed.
