  • Patent number: 10898927
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system may include an item sorter device. The item sorter device may include at least one optical device configured to capture optical data associated with a waste product, a display, and a processor coupled to the at least one optical device and to the display. The processor may be configured to automatically extract universal product code (UPC) data from the optical data, search one or more data sources based on the UPC data to determine a match, determine a bin of a plurality of bins for storage of the waste product based on the match and based on site-specific classification rules, and provide a graphical interface to the display indicating the determined bin.
