The Waste Bin Level Sensor from MachineSens IoT is an ultrasonic sensor that monitors how full a bin is. It is rated IP68, connects over LoRaWAN and sends fill levels to the BuildOT One platform, so teams in UAE and GCC buildings empty bins when they are full, not on a fixed round.

| Platform | BuildOT One |
What the Waste Bin Level Sensor does
- Measures fill level. Ultrasonic sensing reads the distance to the waste surface.
- Alerts at a threshold. A task is raised when the bin is nearly full.
- Optimizes collection. Smart waste can cut collection costs by up to 30%.
- Handles wet areas. IP68 protection suits tough, damp conditions.
Where it is used
Washrooms, food courts, parks, car parks and loading bays in malls, campuses, airports and public spaces across the UAE and GCC.
Works with BuildOT One
Fill alerts become tasks in FM360 and feed reporting in Sustainability and ESG. The sensor is part of the Smart Washroom solution. See also the Soap Dispenser Level Sensor.
Frequently asked questions
Which bins can it monitor?
Most open or lidded bins where the sensor can face the waste surface. Share your bin type for a fit check.
What does IP68 mean for me?
The Waste Bin Level Sensor is rated IP68, so it is protected against dust and water immersion. Cleaning and splashes are not a concern.
How are collections planned?
Fill data in FM360 lets crews route only to bins that need emptying.
