Pittsburgh is spending $580,000 on approximately 500 smart waste bins, which will alert Public Works employees when they are full. According to Public Works Director Mike Gable, the new bins should help the city scale back on the 100,000 hours employees spend each year checking to see which of the city’s 1,200 public waste bins are empty.
The new smart waste bins are expected to be installed by summer.
