Powerful commercial contamination
identification solutions from the ESG
Connected Collections™ Strategy.

Instantly Identify Recycling Contamination At Its Source

Thanks to 3rd Eye, identifying contamination at the source becomes easier. Commercial recycling container content images are captured when the container is serviced. Powerful technology is then employed to identify the sources of contamination – and to assist in measuring compliance.

With 3rd Eye Contamination identification operating, fleet owners have a tool to assist in identifying contamination and potentially recouping some of the expense associated with disposing of contaminated loads. Most fleets can recognize almost $6,500 of additional revenue per month for each commercial front loader assigned to recycling collection. Contamination identification is part of the Connected Collections Digital Strategy to help Fleet Owners Make Better Decisions. Faster.

Passively identify recycling contamination with no driver interaction.

With Purif-Eye, 3rd Eye collects images of commercial container content and processes those images to identify potential contamination in recycling streams. From a hauler’s perspective, the entire process is hands off—the hauler receives timely identification of the contamination found on its routes.

With the images captured from Purif-Eye, fleet owners can go back to customers and educate them on monitoring their waste stream to reduce recycling contamination. 3rd Eye developed this solution to assist recycling haulers whose recycling loads were rejected at Material Recovery Facilities (MRF), potentially jeopardizing the repurposing of valuable recyclables, and resulting in fines for haulers. Many haulers that already monitor for contamination do so at the expense of route productivity, often requiring the driver to exit the cab, flip the container lid, and manually capture images.

Recognize about $6,500 of additional revenue per month, per commercial front loader.

On average, about 15% of all commercial recycling picks are contaminated, based on data provided by several national and regional fleets. Given the hefty fines that come with loads with excess contamination—often a $50 to $100 per ton fee charged on the entire truck’s load—fleet owners have historically been on the losing end when their trucks pull up to offload at the MRF. And, for those vertically integrated haulers with captive MRF and landfill operations, contamination drives higher operating costs, reduced processing capacity, and additional handling costs in transferring residues to landfill.

Fleets vary on the fees they charge their end users – but based on the data collected, with Purif-Eye fleets can recognize almost $6,500 of additional revenue per month for each commercial front loader assigned to recycling collection.
