The Contamination Detection Challenges.


Solid waste management entities like haulers, transfer stations, MRFs, and organics processing centers are under increasing pressure to reduce landfill waste. Traditional methods to achieve this are complex, risky, inefficient, and costly, with facilities often failing to detect up to 75% of billable materials. Items like tires, construction debris, and appliances frequently go unnoticed until after disposal, complicating cost assignment and posing safety risks during manual inspections. Manual checks at scale houses and on tipping floors jeopardize both safety and efficiency, with undetected prohibited items leading to unallocated processing costs.

Facility Contamination Detection Made Simple.

The 3rd Eye Facility Contamination Detection identifies prohibited and specialty items at transfer stations, MRFs, and organics processing facilities. This cutting-edge automated system continuously scans the tipping floor, pinpointing prohibited materials and directly linking each to its source.

Increase diversion and simplify billing processes, ensuring precise cost assignment with photo evidence of contamination and responsible parties. Safeguard your team, recover lost revenue by preventing the need to sort materials after delivery, streamline operations by removing manual inspection bottlenecks, and support sustainability with 3rd Eye.
