Patent Images
1. A method for managing recyclable materials, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying, using a mobile device, a recyclable material based on a detected oscillation frequency of an oscillator associated with the recyclable material, wherein the detected oscillation frequency is a predetermined frequency;
communicating, using the mobile device, information about the recyclable material to a computer controller, wherein the information comprises an identification of the recyclable material and a location of the recyclable material; and
creating, by the computer controller, scheduling instructions for the identified recyclable material.
