System Failure

NYC Generates 44 Million Lbs
of Waste Daily. The Grid Has No Brain.

Despite $10.8 billion deployed annually, New York City's waste infrastructure operates completely blind — no real-time fill data, no contamination tracking, no compliance loop.

Local Law 199 mandates organics separation with $6,250-per-violation fines now actively enforced. Most operators lack the hardware and data to respond. Binio fixes this at the infrastructure layer.

$10.8B
Zero ROI on Intelligence
NYC outspends every U.S. city on sanitation yet every curb overflows nightly. No scalable sensor-enabled containment infrastructure exists.
$6,250
Per-Violation Compliance Fine
Local Law 199 enforcement is live. Operators need hardware and data to comply — or face steep recurring fines.
Zero
Citywide Fill Visibility
No hauler, city agency, or building manager has real-time fill data. Every pickup is a blind route. Every missed collection is a cost leak.

How It Works

Five-Step Deposit-to-Data Protocol.

Every interaction logged. Every stream classified. Every fill event transmitted in real time.

STEP 01
RFID Tap
User taps fob — access and identity logged per deposit
STEP 02
Hatch Opens
Pneumatic arm holds hatch hands-free for deposit
STEP 03
AI Scan
Camera checks contamination. Weight logged in real time.
STEP 04
Compression
Hydraulic 2:1 compaction triggers automatically at 60% fill
STEP 05
Cloud Uplink
Fill and weight data sent to Binio cloud and DSNY dashboard

Technology

Six Integrated Modules. One Defensible Moat.

01 // Telemetry
Precision Weight + Fill Sensing
4× load cells ±0.5 lb and 2× ultrasonic sensors. Sub-second telemetry across -20°C to +60°C operating range.
02 // Identity
RFID Access Layer
12 fobs per unit with timestamped deposit logs and per-user accountability — building-level compliance records.
03 // Edge AI
Computer Vision Contamination
MobileNetV3 on NVIDIA Jetson Nano. Downward dome camera. Real-time stream classification at >85% precision, <200ms inference.
04 // Mechanics
Hydraulic Compression Engine
2:1 compaction ratio, 120V near-silent operation, triggered at 60% fill. Reduces hauler frequency by up to 50%.
05 // Media
Dual IP65 Ad Screens
2,500 nit weatherproof displays running dynamic CPM billing and geotargeted hyperlocal content — the revenue engine.
06 // Power
Cellular + Solar Stack
4G LTE uplink, 180W solar panel, 72-hour battery autonomy. Fully off-grid capable with continuous DSNY data feed.

Business Model

Five Revenue Streams. One Asset.

Each deployed unit generates revenue across advertising, subscriptions, municipal data, logistics, and carbon markets simultaneously.

01 // Media
Programmatic Ad Screens
Dual IP65 weatherproof displays serve dynamic CPM billing and geotargeted hyperlocal advertising.
02 // SaaS
Municipal Data + Compliance API
Real-time fill, weight, and contamination data sold to DSNY and city agencies as a compliance dashboard.
03 // Logistics
Hauler Route Optimization
Fill-level data and foot traffic analytics sold to haulers for dynamic routing — replacing blind fixed-route schedules.
04 // Subscriptions
Business + Building Subscriptions
Per-unit monthly access fees from businesses, building managers, and residents using RFID-controlled access.
