Abstract
Method in a waste handling system, in which waste or recyclable material is transported in carrier bags, bags or sacks (1) to a disposal point, such as to a waste bin of a waste room (WR1, WR2, WR3), and from there onwards by a transport vehicle for further processing. An RFID identifier (3) is used in connection with the carrier bag, bag, sack (1) or corresponding used in waste transport, preferably a closing means (2) that is provided with an RFID identifier (3) is used in closing, or as verification of the closing of, the carrier bag, bag, sack (1) or corresponding, and in which method a sensor (S1, S2, S3) is arranged in connection with, or in the proximity of, a disposal point, such as a waste room (WR1, WR2, WR3), of the waste system, the information read from the RFID identifier of which sensor is transmitted to a control unit (CS), which is fitted to control the waste transport system, or a part of it, on the basis of the information given by the RFID identifier. The invention also relates to a waste transport system.

- 25. Method in a waste handling system, in which waste or recyclable material is transported in carrier bags, bags or sacks (1) to a disposal point, such as to a waste bin of a waste room (WR1, WR2, WR3), and from there onwards by a transport vehicle for further processing, characterized in that an RFID identifier (3) is used in connection with the carrier bag, bag, sack (1) or corresponding used in waste transport, preferably a closing means (2) that is provided with an RFID identifier (3) is used in closing, or as verification of the closing of the carrier bag, bag, sack (1) or corresponding, and in which method a sensor (S1, S2, S3) is arranged in connection with, or in the proximity of, a disposal point, such as a waste room (WR1, WR2, WR3), of the waste system, the information read from the RFID identifier of which sensor is transmitted to a control unit (CS)i which is fitted to control the waste transport system, or a part of it, on the basis of the information given by the RFID identifier and that in the method control data is transmitted from the control unit (CS) to the terminal (T1) of one or more waste transport vehicles, such as of a garbage truck (V1), or of the driver of a transport vehicle and/or that from a disposal point information is transmitted, on the basis of which the filling degree of the waste bins (B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6) of the disposal point, such as a waste room (WR1, WR2, WR3), or the amount of a certain type of waste in a disposal point, such as in a waste room, can be determined.
- 35. Waste transport system, in which waste or recyclable material is transported in carrier bags, bags or sacks (1) to a disposal point, such as to a waste bin of a waste room (WR1, WR2, WR3), and from there onwards by a transport vehicle for further processing, characterized in that an RFID identifier (3) is arranged in connection with the carrier bag, bag, sack (1) or corresponding used in waste transport, preferably in a closing means (2) used in closing, or as verification of the closing of, the carrier bag, bag, sack (1) or corresponding, and in that a sensor (S1, S2, S3) is arranged in connection with, or in the proximity of, a disposal point, such as a waste room (WR1, WR2, WR3), of the waste system, the information read from the RFID identifier of which sensor is transmitted to a control unit (CS), which is fitted to control the waste transport system, or a part of it, on the basis of the information given by the RFID identifier and that in the system control data is transmitted from the control unit (CS) to the terminal (T1) of one or more waste transport vehicles, such as a garbage truck (V1), or of the driver of a transport vehicle and/or that from a disposal point information is transmitted to a control system (CS), on the basis of which the filling degree of the waste bins (B1, B2, B3, B4, B,5, B6) of the disposal point, such as a waste room (WR1, WR2, WR3), or the amount of a certain type of waste in a disposal point, such as in a waste, can be determined.
