Yes. Air often becomes trapped inside waste basket bins. When this occurs, an ordinary fill level sensor might register the bin as “full”. This can happen even immediately after changing the bag. Our system uses a Photo Sensor in addition to our Fill Sensor. This helps determine whether the bag is affecting fill level status. If the Photo Sensor picks up only white or black (depending on the color of the bag) our system will determine the bin does not require attention.
