The Topper Stopper™ Platform
The Topper Stopper™ Platform is cutting-edge equipment designed to retrofit existing recycling bins, transforming them into smart recycling stations. This technology includes advanced scanners sensors that determine the type of material being deposited, prevent non-recyclable materials from being deposited, measure the types and quantities of materials deposited in the bins, and notify facilities management teams when bins need to be emptied. The data collected provides real-time insights into recycling habits and material volumes, allowing for optimized waste management and improved recycling rates. With easy installation and seamless integration, Topper Stopper™ retrofit technology enhances the functionality of standard recycling bins, making sustainability efforts more effective and data-driven.
Topper Stopper™ V3
Our V3 unit is the latest innovation in protecting the recycling stream while adding a method to present consumers with messaging about the importance and value of recycling properly.
Topper Stopper™ V2
The original model designed to prevent the contamination of the recycling stream. Great for events or venues that cover a large area with durability and ease of installation (especially on Cerobins).
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).
