Roll Off Dumpster Tracking Software - Wireless Links
Roll-off dumpsters represent a significant capital investment for any waste company. Successfully tracking roll-off containers, waste bins and dumpsters and focusing on the highest possible turnover can make or break the small to mid-sized waste hauler.
Before reaching out to us, we found that a significant percentage of our dumpster company customers relied on paper and pencil to track their roll-off dumpsters, drivers and customers.
After polling our customers, we found that the major pain points for most of the companies in this industry are:
- Poor inventory management – due to constantly looking for their bins or dumpsters.
- Lack of control and visibility over their roll-off dumpsters and assets.
- Insufficient record keeping – as they rely on paper and outdated practices.
- Relatively low churn on services – due to current tracking methods.
- Profitability is not at its full potential – Low productivity due to the reasons stated above.

roll off container GPS tracking – How it Works
Small, battery powered RFTags packaged in an IP67 waterproof enclosure are placed on your roll-off dumpsters and a Piccolo Plus GPS telematics unit with an RFLink module is installed via plug and play to the ECM in any truck.
The RFTag has a powerful 32bit CPU with a 2.4 GHz IEEE802.15.4 transceiver and is packaged with a small, rechargeable lithium battery capable of powering the RFTag for up to 24 months.
The RFTags communicate via RF at 2.4GHz to the Piccolo Plus Gateway at a radius of up to 250 feet (70m).
Key data and analytics including GPS tracking, engine diagnostics and driver behavior is provided by the Piccolo Plus unit and viewed on the tracking software:
- Real-time GPS tracking
- Length of time on a route, distance traveled, unplanned / planned stops and more.
- Last location
- Speed and direction of truck
- Fuel Report
- Engine diagnostics including battery level, RPM and odometer
When a roll off dumpster is dropped off at its destination, the location, time, date and ID are automatically recorded and can be viewed on the cloud software.
When an asset is picked up by a truck, once again the location, time, date and ID are recorded and can be viewed on the cloud software.
