Waste collection made smarter.
Track & tackle everything
from
cost savings to
environmental equity.
With Relay sensor technology and its data driven waste collection, you’re saving much more than waste management costs. Because along with measuring receptacle fill levels for more efficient collection, Relay also collects street-level data that can help cut CO2 emissions, improve public health and bring environmental equity to all parts of the city.
Save 70-90%
in collection expenses.
Most current waste and recycling collection systems follow a static model, where containers are picked up regardless of their content or fill level. This inefficiency has an impact on monetary, environmental, and community costs, with some containers overfilling before they are collected, while others sit empty, yet are picked up anyway. There wasn’t a better way, so we created one.
Victor Stanley Relay™ modernizes this system by monitoring the fill levels and weights of all containers, so that they can be collected at the optimal time. This service saves on collection expenses and ensures resources are allocated efficiently, while reducing fuel costs, carbon footprints, and unsightly overflowing waste.

HOURS SPENT COLLECTING WASTE
What is Relay?
Sensors
We designed our proprietary Street Level Sensing™ technology to meet the challenges site furnishings face in high-use, commercial and urban environments at the street level. This means that fill level, weight, system temperature, container location, and collection status are continuously monitored — and real-time container conditions are automatically transmitted using standard cellular networks.
An all-in-one solution, Relay features fully integrated sensors within new and existing litter receptacles and recycling stations, wireless communications, and dedicated web portal for access to container conditions.
Service Portal
Access from anywhere through any device. Users can check real-time status of containers. Customize alert triggers and push notifications to receive information regarding fill level spikes, container location, collection status and dispatch reporting. Real-time and historical information to maximize collection planning, scheduling, routing and resource utilization.
Routing
Our easy to use dispatch tool provides live traffic conditions and turn-by-turn navigation. Our routing optimizes pickup to only containers requiring collection. The optimization of your collection fleet reduces fuel waste, traffic congestion, and environmental impact.

EASE EMPLOYMENT SHORTAGES
Sensor equipped waste bins send Pittsburgh real-time data, monitoring everything from fullness to street-level conditions. Now that crews can optimize their collection, a job that once required 25 people now only takes 9. Allowing workers to focus on other pressing tasks, including street repairs, cleaning up vacant lots, and improving street-level conditions in disadvantaged areas.
A Hauler’s Helping Hand
