•Case Study: Impinj RFID Technology Enables Automated Waste Recovery
By Impinj, Inc.
Monroe County covers approximately 764 square miles in northeast Mississippi, with a population of over 37,000, and a housing density of nearly 22 units per square mile. Because of state and county laws, the county must pick up any refuse residents place at the curb and bill for this service. The county had been using manual bag pickup, but after researching automated collection systems, selected Labrie Environmental Group in December 2008 to implement a pilot system of five trucks to cover 8,500 households. Labrie partnered with Cascade Engineering to deliver a radio-frequency identification (RFID) solution powered by Impinj technology.
Challenge:
- Positively identifying which residence generated the waste, making billing difficult
- Proving that garbage was collected to avoid double collection
