Stop walking the route.
Start emptying the bins that are actually full.
ProLink puts a sensor in every bin and a live fill map in every pocket. Your team stops checking and starts collecting • dispatched only where waste has actually accumulated, the moment it accumulates.
Retrofits any bin you already own • no replacement, no rewiring, no downtime.
Your crew already knows the route. They just don't know which bins matter.
Scheduled rounds were invented because nobody could see inside a bin. So the whole building gets walked on a timer • 6 AM, noon, 4 PM • whether the bins are full, half full, or untouched since yesterday. The labour is real. The result is a guess.
Every bin is visited on the timer. Most were nearly empty.
- Kilometres walked for nothingIn a spread-out site, most of a round is transit. A custodian can burn 40 minutes crossing a terminal to open a lid that's a quarter full • then do it again four hours later.
- Overflows still happen anywayA timer can't predict a spike. One event, one delayed flight, one busy lunch hour and a bin is spilling for three hours before anyone walks past it • in front of your customers.
- No proof, no data, no defenceWhen a tenant or an inspector complains, you have a paper checklist. You can't show when the bin was last serviced, how full it was, or that the round was actually walked.
- Half-empty liners and half-empty trucksPulling a bag at 30% wastes the liner, the labour and the haul. Multiply by hundreds of bins a day and you're paying to move air.
Four steps between a filling bin and the right person moving.
No new bins. No wiring. No IT project. A sensor goes under the lid, and the rest of the system is already running.
Sense
A ProLink Sense unit clips under any bin lid and measures the distance to the waste surface many times an hour • no camera, no image, nothing to configure.
Transmit
Readings travel over long-range low-power radio to a ProLink gateway • through concrete, down stairwells, across a parking lot. One gateway covers hundreds of bins.
Predict
ProLink Command learns each bin's rhythm • the food court on a Saturday, gate B on a delay • and flags it before it overflows, not after.
Dispatch
The nearest available crew member gets a push alert with the bin, the floor and the fastest path. They tap Done, and the service is timestamped forever.
A sensor that installs in ninety seconds and then never asks for anything.
Sealed, battery-powered, magnetically mounted. It does one job with obsessive reliability: know how full the bin is, and say so.
- Time-of-flight ranging, not guessworkSolid-state distance sensing maps the waste surface and rejects false readings from a leaning bag or a lid left ajar.
- Heat and fire watch built inAn onboard temperature channel escalates instantly if a bin starts smouldering • a cigarette in a paper bin becomes a phone alert, not an incident report.
- Five years on one sealed cellNo charging, no cabling, no maintenance window. ProLink Command tells you months in advance which units to swap.
- Privacy-safe by designDistance and temperature only. No camera, no microphone, no image ever leaves the bin • so it clears review in hospitals, schools and secure sites.
One screen that shows every bin in the building at once.
Zones, floors, terminals, campuses • laid out the way your building actually is. Fill levels update live, alerts sort themselves to the top, and the day's route builds itself around what's real.
Heat maps & trends
See which bins fill fastest, which are oversized, and where you should add or remove capacity entirely.
Proof of service
Every collection timestamped with bin, fill level and who serviced it. Export a clean SLA report in one click.
Zones & permissions
Give each contractor, tenant or department exactly the bins they're responsible for • and nothing else.
Connects to what you run
Open REST API and webhooks push work orders straight into your CMMS, help desk or scheduling tool.
The alert doesn't go to a control room. It goes to the person nearest the bin.
Every crew member, supervisor and tenant contact gets the app. It tells them exactly one thing at a time: which bin, where, and how urgent.
- Push the moment it mattersThreshold breach, predicted overflow, heat event, sensor offline • each with its own urgency and its own escalation path.
- Nearest-crew dispatchProLink assigns by proximity and current workload, so nobody crosses the building past a teammate who was already standing there.
- One tap to close the loopMark serviced, add a photo or a note, and the sensor confirms the drop independently. No clipboards, no disputes.
- Works where the signal doesn'tLoading docks, basements, parkades. The app queues offline and syncs the second it reconnects.
- Tenants and staff can report tooAnyone with the app can flag a spill or a damaged bin. It lands in the same queue as the sensor alerts, with a location already attached.
Move the sliders. That's your labour, walking past empty bins.
Set the numbers to match your site and see what disappears when checking stops being part of the job. Pricing is quoted per site • contact us directly for a figure built on your bin count.
in avoidable collection labour, per year • redeployable to work that actually needs a person.
Estimate only, based on the inputs above and a 365-day operating year. It counts the checks ProLink removes • it does not count avoided overflow incidents, complaint handling, or reclaimed cleaning time, which are usually the larger number. We'll build a costed model against your real bin inventory on request.
What it looks like in a facility that's genuinely too big to walk.
A 1.2 million sq ft mixed-use transport terminal: 340 bins across five levels, three scheduled rounds a day, two custodians per shift. Here is the same operation before and after fill-level data.
“The round never told us anything. It just told us the time. Now the building tells the crew where to be, and the crew spends the rest of the shift on work a person is actually needed for.”
That is the entire shift in thinking ProLink is built to deliver: labour stops being a patrol and starts being a response. The bins report themselves; your people go where the report says.
Figures above are a modelled scenario using the assumptions stated, provided to show how the system behaves at scale • not a claim about a specific named client. We build the same model against your real bin count, floor plan and shift pattern before you commit to anything.
If your bins are far apart, ProLink is for you.
The value isn't in the bin • it's in the distance between them. The further your team has to walk to find out, the more a sensor is worth.
Airports & transit
Concourses that take fifteen minutes to cross, and passenger volume that swings with every delay. Alerts follow the crowd, not the clock.
Malls & retail centres
Food courts spike at noon and die at three. Charge tenants accurately, and keep the guest-facing bins from ever being the thing people photograph.
Campuses & universities
Dozens of buildings, kilometres of path, and a schedule that changes every semester. Stop sending a truck across campus for a half-full bin.
Hospitals & health systems
Separate streams, strict thresholds, and wings that must never overflow. Camera-free sensing clears infection control and privacy review.
Office towers & property management
Forty floors, one cleaning contract, and no way to verify it was walked. Now every service is timestamped and every floor has a record.
Parks & municipalities
Bins spread across a whole city, each one a separate drive. Route the truck to the twelve that are full instead of the ninety on the list.
Warehouses & manufacturing
Scrap, cardboard and production waste that fills unpredictably with the line. Compactor monitoring stops both jams and half-empty hauls.
Haulers & contractors
Stop billing customers for empty pickups and stop absorbing the cost of full ones. Build tomorrow's route from tonight's real fill data.
Live in a week. Not a twelve-month IT programme.
ProLink is deliberately boring to install. We survey, we mount, we hand you a login. Nothing touches your building systems and nothing needs your network.
1 · Site survey
We map your bins, zones and gateway coverage • on site or from your floor plans. You get a bin-by-bin plan before anything is ordered.
2 · Install
Sensors clip under the lids, gateways plug into a standard outlet. A typical 300-bin site is fully live inside two days, with zero disruption.
3 · Baseline fortnight
ProLink watches your site fill up before it changes anything, so your thresholds and predictions are built on your building • not an average.
Secure & isolated
Encrypted end to end, on its own private radio network. No cameras, no building network access, no personal data collected • ever.
Coverage anywhere
Basements, parkades, outdoor grounds. Where a gateway can't reach, cellular sensors report directly • the same data, the same screen.
Training included
The app takes about ten minutes to learn. We train your supervisors and crew on site, and support stays on the same phone number afterwards.
The things facilities managers ask us first.
Your bins are already telling you when they're full.
Nobody is listening yet. ProLink is how a building starts reporting its own waste • so your team stops patrolling and starts responding. Tell us your bin count and we'll show you exactly what that's worth.
