Abstract (en)

A method for the automatic classification of the format of waste delivered into a public dumpster (10) provided with a plurality of optical sensors (12) which are arranged in an elevated position which does not interfere with the area occupied by the waste and are directed functionally toward the bottom (10a) of the dumpster (10). A control unit (CU), capable of detecting the surface profile of the waste in the dumpster (10) on the basis of the signals received from the optical sensors (12), calculates a volumetric datum on the basis of the difference between the surface profile detected after delivery and the surface profile detected before delivery, compares the volumetric datum with threshold values which are preset on the basis of specific standard formats, associates the delivered waste with the corresponding format, and generates corresponding format information for subsequent processing.
