The use of underground bins for "underground waste collection" continues to gain importance, especially in large cities. The half and full underground systems enable efficient, barrier-free, clean and space-saving waste collection. A visual upgrade of the residential environment is achieved, including a reduction in noise pollution. The first companies, for example BSR Berlin, offer planners an online-based planning tool for designing bin locations. In the meantime, increasing digitalisation has also made other approaches possible, such as the technical measurement of fill levels and automatic transfer of the fill levels to the route planning for demand-oriented collection, coupled with the billing of fees.
