Curbside system provides simple weighing and documentation of recyclables
This Curbside Weighing System (CWS) utilizes Avery Weigh-Tronix equipment to offer a simple, sophisticated weighing solution for recycling collection and documentation. An Avery Weigh-Tronix Weigh Bar weight sensor is inserted between the collection truck and the tipper, allowing recyclables to be weighed in-motion without adding time to the lifting process. This robust Weigh Bar offers inherent strength and overload protection while providing high accuracy and reliability. The CWS is paired with a RFID system to associate the amount of materials recycled with the contributing resident, facilitating easy tracking of recyclables. The system uses its wireless antenna to read an RFID tag, which is placed on each collection tote and used to identify the recycler. This tag data and the net weight of the collected recyclables are then transferred to the CWS’s multi-faceted, easily programmable Simulcast WI-130 Indicator. Once the collection truck arrives at the recycling centre, the indicator sends the collected data via radio frequency to the centre’s computers, allowing the information to be easily downloaded without inconveniencing the hauler.
