N.J. Trash Collector Uses RFID to Pay Customers Who Recycle

Sanico, a provider of recycling and garbage-collection services in northwestern New Jersey, has seen a rise in the recycling rates of its customers, thanks to the use of a radio frequency identification system that rewards participating residents by reducing their waste-removal bill. The company is employing an Aviant Systems solution consisting of passive ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) RFID tags affixed to recycling canisters, a reader on each of its recyclables collection trucks, and an onboard computer that interprets read data and then forwards that information to Aviant's server via a cellular connection. - See more at: http://www.rfidjournal.com/articles/view?11187#sthash.y3YejejZ.dpuf
