Digital waste management system

University of British Columbia. Sustainability Office

The Alma Mater Society (AMS) of the University of British Columbia (UBC) is building a new Student Union Building (SUB). As a means of measuring solid waste production at the SUB, a digital waste management system consisting of a floor scale, button panel and computer software backend is designed, allowing the weight, waste stream, date and time to be recorded and saved on a server. The system is also functionally tested at all stages of development to verify the correctness of the solution. The digital waste management system aims to be cheaper and faster than the alternative of conducting periodic waste audits, all the while being safe and easy to use.
