Soft-Launch Case Study

USC Upstate embarked on a soft-launch pilot to gain deeper insights into campus recycling behaviors and material quality. By deploying bins equipped with Topper Stopper™ units in select locations, the university began tracking item-level collections and assessing contamination. Early observations from this pilot, spanning late 2025, indicate the collection of 602 clean recyclable items, providing initial data on material types, location-specific activity, and estimated environmental savings. This ongoing initiative aims to build a clearer picture of recycling effectiveness and inform future sustainability strategies on campus.

Recycle Smart Monitoring System™

The Recycle Smart Monitoring System™ (RSMS) provides a method to measure the fullness of a recycling bins. The Topper Stopper™ units equipped with RSMS determine the depth of an empty bin, then check the bin depth at specified intervals. Notifications are sent out via text message and/or email when bins reach a specified level of fullness. This works on varying sizes of bins because the system obtains the depth each time a bin is emptied (or replaced).
