ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for identifying containers from which refuse is collected by a refuse-hauling vehicle. The apparatus includes a device that provides a unique machine-readable code for each of the containers. A sensor on-board the vehicle interrogates the device containing the unique code and retrieves the code in conjunction with the loading of the refuse into the vehicle. An electronic processor is responsive to the sensor for collecting the unique code and compiling a historical record of the containers from which refuse has been collected. Preferably, the apparatus includes a weighing device on-board the vehicle for sensing the weight of the refuse in a container and generating weight data, which is delivered to the electronic processor for correlation with the unique code in the historical data base.
