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.

This works on varying sizes of bins because the system obtains the depth each time a bin is emptied (or replaced).
