ABSTRACT: The ACTAIS® Waste system is specifically designed for the intelligent management of access<br />

to household waste recycling centres, thus allowing the managing body to comply with relevant EU<br />

directives related to waste statistics collection and reporting. The system monitors persons and companies<br />

through their Identity Document, Smartcard or vehicle number plate, among other methods. After<br />

being identified at the entrance point, the user, through a touch screen, describes the type and quantity<br />

of waste he will leave at the recycling centre. In this way, the type of waste and the deposited amount<br />

can be easily determined at the various recycling centres owned by the managing body. This system is<br />

currently in operation at three household recycling centres managed by Gijon’s urban waste collection<br />

company (EMULSA).<br />
