Abstract: A method for a municipality to control, track, and monitor waste or refuse receptacles requires a permit for use of a waste receptacle. An issuing organization issues a permit associated with a discreet receptacle identifier. An RFID tag is provided with the permit and attached to a discreet receptacle. The RFID tag transmits a signal carrying data associated with the discreet receptacle identifier. The signal may be read by a portable reader carried by municipal personnel to record violations of municipal code associated with the use of the discreet receptacle.

Abstract: A method of redeploying waste containers in a waste collection system with an active or passive signal means requires a user to aim an optical character recognition reader at a waste container comprising a unique optical waste container identifier. The optical character recognition reader reads unique waste container optical identifier. The unique waste container optical identifier is converted to a unique electronically formatted waste container identifier. A unique radio frequency signal identifier is stored on a radio frequency emitting tag and associated with the unique electronically formatted waste container identifier. The radio frequency emitting tag is attached to the waste container.

Abstract: A container having a compactor and bin for waste is disclosed permitting on-premises and remote monitoring of the system and collection is disclosed. The system can also detect non-complaint materials placed therein and act thereon. Methods are further disclosed for inventorying identification tags for tracking packages, merchandise and tags disposed of.

Abstract: A vehicle for removing and hauling waste has a waste bin located above a baseline. The waste bin has a chamber and an emptying site for receiving waste into the chamber. A waste receptacle transfer means is driven from a first position associated with the baseline to a second position associated with the emptying site of the waste bin and back to the first position. A waste receptacle is temporarily retainable to the waste receptacle transfer means and transferrable by the waste receptacle transfer means from the first position to the second position to spill contents of the waste receptacle into the waste bin at the emptying site and back to the first position. A first receiver is associated with the first position for receiving a signal generated by the waste receptacle at a first moment in time when the waste receptacle transfer means is in the first position and at a second moment in time when the waste receptacle transfer means has returned to the first position from second position.
