Abstract
A waste management method includes setting an allowable methane amount in a bin and an allowable waste amount in the bin. The method includes measuring a methane amount in the bin, a waste amount in the bin, a temperature in the bin and a humidity in the bin, transmitting the methane amount, the temperature and the humidity to a first network and transmitting the the waste amount, and the timestamp to a second network. The method includes generating a first time estimate with the first network and generating a second time estimate with the second network to determine whether the waste amount exceeds a predetermined allowable waste amount. The method includes generating a schedule and a route for a waste vehicle based on the first and second time estimates, a number of waste vehicles available, and methane emissions by the waste vehicles.
