RFID for Waste Management & Recycling

Waste Container & Equipment Tracking in Minutes with RFID

Wirelessly track bins, carts, roll-off containers, equipment and spare parts with RFID. Put rugged RFID tags on your assets and a handheld reader audits a whole yard or parts room at a time — no clipboards and no scanning one by one. Audits, deliveries, pickups and finding containers all get dramatically faster.

Tag Your Containers. Audit Like a Wizard.

Put rugged RFID tags on bins, containers and equipment, then walk the yard with the handheld reader — it counts everything wirelessly in minutes, no clipboards and no serial numbers.

  • Hundreds of tags read per second, wirelessly
  • No line of sight — read tagged containers and parts without climbing in or reading serial numbers
  • The same tags speed up deliveries, pickups, yard moves and finding items
  • Print and encode tags on site, or import your existing asset list


Super-Fast Yard & Parts Audits

No more walking the yard with a clipboard. Press Start and walk the container rows, the shop and the parts room with a handheld RFID reader — it reads every tagged container and part in range, without line of sight.

Find Any Container, Bin or Part Fast

“Which site has roll-off 214?” gets answered on the spot. Find any tagged item with the handheld’s Geiger finder — it beeps faster as you get closer — or look it up on the dashboard map.

RFID Transfers Between Yards & Sites

Track containers and equipment moving between yards and customer sites wirelessly. Scan the containers or equipment going out, choose the destination yard or customer site and submit — Senitron records the move. At the receiving end, one scan confirms everything arrived and highlights anything missing.

Waste Management RFID: Common Questions

What can a waste or recycling company track with RFID?

Carts and bins, dumpsters, roll-off containers, compactors, vehicle parts and tools, and safety equipment.

How long does a yard audit take with RFID?

Minutes. A handheld RFID reader reads rugged RFID tags on containers in range without line of sight, so whole rows are counted without checking each serial number.

Can we track containers placed at customer sites?

Yes. Each container is recorded when it leaves the yard and when it is delivered or picked up, so you always know which site has which container.

Does it work across multiple yards?

Yes. Every yard and facility is visible from one dashboard, and moving containers and equipment between yards is recorded with one scan.

What does it cost, and is there a guarantee?

Pricing depends on your number of sites and the hardware you need. There is no contract, it is month-to-month, and every plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
