Patent number: 8185277Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2008Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Advanced Custom Engineered Systems & Equipment Co.Inventors: Christopher M.

Publication number: 20100119341Abstract: A method for removing and hauling waste has a receiving step requiring reception of a signal carrying identifying information from a waste receptacle outfitted with a signal generating means at a first location. The signal is transmitted from the first location to a data link. A subsequent data signal is transmitted to an external site. The data signal is compared against account information associated with the waste receptacle. A return data signal having a value designating an account status associated with the waste receptacle is transmitted from the external site; triggering automatic physical movement of the waste receptacle based on the value received from the external site. Another signal is received from the waste receptacle outfitted with a signal generating means at a second location. The signal is transmitted from the second location to the data link. A second data signal is transmitted to the external site.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2008Publication date: May 13, 2010Applicant: ADVANCED CUSTOM ENGINEERED SYSTEMS & EQUIPMENT CO.Inventors: Christopher M.
