1. A system for detecting a refuse can including at least one sensor and one or more processing circuits communicably coupled to the sensor. The one or more processing circuits are configured to capture, from the at least one sensor, data regarding a pickup location associated with a refuse can, determine, based on the data, if the refuse can is present at the pickup location, upon determining that the refuse can is absent from the pickup location, generate an indication that the refuse can is absent from the pickup location, and upon determining that the refuse can is present at the pickup location, generate a command to initiate a refuse collection operation.
