Smart Waste Collection

Fair charges start with honest figures. wiegon collect enables local authorities and waste management associations to bill each household precisely for the amount of residual waste disposed of, down to the nearest kilogram. Transparent, traceable and fair. Those who actively sort their waste pay less. This builds trust and boosts the rate of waste sorting in the long term.

Billing accurate to the kilogram for residents and local authorities

Under the traditional flat-rate model, everyone pays the same amount – regardless of how much residual waste they actually produce. The wiegon bin-weighing system changes this: every collection is weighed, the data is transmitted to the wiegon system in real time, and is immediately available to the local authority for analysis and billing. The result is a fee structure that rewards personal responsibility and conserves resources.

Seamless integration of external Ident weighing systems

As a logical extension of the wiegon concept, data from external Ident weighing systems can be integrated directly. The linking of Ident data with resident data takes place exclusively within the wiegon system – in compliance with data protection regulations and without the disclosure of personal data to the waste management companies carrying out the service. For local authorities, this means: full control, clear data, and no dependence on the waste management contractor.

In addition, the system offers an efficient solution for the initial distribution of large quantities of RFID transponders and for the ongoing updating of residents’ details. With wiegon collect, waste management companies also have access to their own web app, which is specifically designed to meet the requirements of day-to-day operations.

The wiegon citizen app: transparency right in your pocket

With the wiegon app, residents have direct access to the weighing data for their own bin – shortly after each collection, clearly presented and available at any time. The app brings together all relevant information relating to personal waste disposal:

• Current residual waste volume by weight
• Waste collection calendar and collection dates
• Fee overview and billing details
• Recycling tips and sorting guidelines
• Opening hours of recycling centres

This turns waste disposal into an active, informed process – for every household.
