  • Patent number: 10875708
    Abstract: An automated waste collection has a housing, within which is disposed a deployment mechanism for receiving a waste bin. The waste bin may be placed onto the deployment mechanism through an access opening traversing through the housing and selectively obstructed by an access closure. Waste may be deposited within the waste bin through a lid opening at a top of the housing. The deployment mechanism may be displaced by a deployment actuator between a stored position within the housing and a deployed position external to the housing. In order to do so, the deployment mechanism traverses through a deployment opening selectively obstructed by a deployment closure. A controller operates according to a predetermined waste collection schedule, actuating the deployment actuator at any scheduled waste collection times.
