Solid overview of how IoT sensors transform waste operations from reactive to predictive. The fill-level detection piece is underrated tho, most municipalites still run fixed routes that waste fuel on half-empty bins. I've seen pilot programs where route optimization alone cuts diesel costs by like 20% within a year, but adoption gets held back by procurement friction and vendor lock-in concers that nobody talks about publicly.
Absolutely! fill-level sensors are a game-changer! Many municipalities waste fuel running fixed routes for half-empty bins. Pilot programs show that smarter routing can cut diesel use by 20% in a year. The tricky part, as you said, is procurement hurdles and vendor lock-ins, but the benefits are too big to ignore.
