1. A system for managing waste services, comprising:

  • a wearable device configured to generate a first signal indicative of motion of management personnel;

    a locating device configured to generate a second signal indicative of a location of a service vehicle;

    an electronic transmitter-receiver on-board the service vehicle configured to receive local wireless signals corresponding to a target location and generate a third signal identifying a unique transmitter and a strength of a local wireless signal from the target location to the service vehicle; and

    a controller on-board the service vehicle in communication with the locating device and the wearable device, the controller being configured to;

    determine based on the second signal a proximity of the service vehicle to the target location at which one or more waste services are to be performed;

    automatically monitor an activity of the management personnel to be tracked via the wearable device attached to the management personnel, the wearable device including a motion sensor and a transmitter configured to wirelessly broadcast signals, in response to the proximity of the service vehicle being within a threshold proximity of the target location;

    receive the first signal indicative of motion of the management personnel from the wearable device by the management personnel;

    correlate the first signal indicative of motion of the management personnel to service activity patterns;

    determine based on the correlation of the first signal to the service activity patterns, completion of a first service activity; and

    automatically flag the target location in a memory as having been serviced based on the completion of the first service activity at the target location based on activity of the wearable device exceeding a threshold.
