The RUBIN project was created to guarantee correct and smart management of separate waste collection, by tracking (and potentially rewarding) those who separate waste with awareness. IoT technology allows continuous monitoring.

Each bin is equipped with a circuit dedicated to monitoring the levels, accesses, statuses and mapping operations, and also to optimising the functioning of the energy system. RUBIN is currently used on large roadside bins. Its also has the potential to be applied on smaller bins used in door-to-door collection systems.
