Bin Access Management

Remote digital management of access into bins

Public availability of waste bins does not always mean the bins are meant for everyone. However, locking bins in cages or cabinets is not always an option – especially if the visual aspect is important for customer. Sensoneo’s Bin Access Management solution does not disturb the visual of the waste containers or their surroundings.

Besides ensuring that only the authorized people can access the bins, the solution can also facilitate introduction of PAYT for apartment buildings that otherwise must be done via door-to-door collection only.

Waste Access Management can be also very beneficial for waste collectors who can easily control who and when accessed bins, and for producers and distributors of the bins as it significantly elevates the bins’ value.

BAM 4.0

The new version, BAM 4.0, includes the capability to be extended with external devices.

For instance, the system can now be paired with our ultrasonic fill-level sensors and monitors, enabling bins to be locked automatically once they reach a predefined capacity.

Since the sensors are connected to the BAM by a cable, they do not require batteries, as they use the capacity of the battery inside the BAM.

This means that deploying both devices together is extremely beneficial from both a technological and financial perspective.

Ideal bin types for remote access management

Semi-underground / Semi-buried bins

Underground / Buried bins

Large-capacity bins (compactor bins)

How does it work?

1. Sensoneo’s Waste Bin Lock is installed in every bin that requires access control. The installation of one Lock is easy and can be done very quick.

2. The customer receives required amount of Access Keys in required design (fob or card).

3. Sensoneo provides customer with access into Sensoneo’s platform to easily manage the accesses.

4. Using Sensoneo reader, the customer assigns the keys with specific users on Sensoneo platform. One key can ensure access to multiple bins (usually all within one stand).

5. The users/citizens are distributed to access the waste bins they are authorized for.

6. The access for users can be easily denied/blocked/cancelled/edited on lockneo.com. The access rights are updated once a day (pre-set for midnight), but the time span can be customized.
