In this paper, we present the Smartbin system that identifies fullness of litter bin. The system is designed to collect data and to deliver the data through wireless mesh network. The system also employs duty cycle technique to reduce power consumption and to maximize operational time. The Smartbin system was tested in an outdoor environment. Through the testbed, we collected data and applied sense-making methods to obtain litter bin utilization and litter bin daily seasonality information. With such information, litter bin providers and cleaning contractors are able to make better decision to increase productivity.
