The Intellibin Journey

Passionate about bringing data transparency to Waste for a more sustainable, efficienct and safer future.

Bringing the world's waste to life

Hey there! Welcome to Intellibin, where we're passionate about transforming waste management into a smart, sustainable, and safe journey. Born in the heart of North East England, a region famed for its rich industrial heritage, we're a team of four waste innovators who believe it's high time to shake things up in the waste world. After years in the industry, we saw firsthand how traditional methods just weren't cutting it - inefficient, unsustainable, and frankly, a bit risky. So, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work!

Innovation meets tradition

What's our secret sauce? The game-changing remote waste sensor! This nifty gadget is a real game-changer for any bin out there. It's like giving your bin a brain and a voice. Our sensor not only measures the weight of waste but also keeps track of the bin's location and usage - and all this, retrofitted to your existing bins! It's our way of nodding to the past but striding boldly into the future. We're all about making waste management smarter, and we're doing it with a gadget that's as easy to install as it is to use.

A greener, cleaner tomorrow

Our dream? A world where waste isn't just something you chuck and forget. We're on a mission to make recycling second nature and to keep everyone in the loop about their waste habits. With our sensors, companies, especially those in waste management and facilities management, can step up their game - becoming more sustainable and ethical. We're not just a business; we're a movement. Join us in ushering in an era of transparent waste management, where every bin tells a story, and every story leads to a greener, cleaner tomorrow.

Join in today!

We're more than just a team; we're a partnership, and we're inviting you to be a part of this exciting journey. Whether you're a business looking to upgrade your waste management or just someone keen on making a difference, we can make a difference together. Let's make waste management something to be proud of, together. Welcome aboard!

Frustrations with the status quo

As the MD of a Waste Brokerage, Stewart becomes frustrated by customers complaints about unexpected excess weight charges & lack of waste data to help his customers. He has the idea to remotely monitor the weight of bins. Elsewhere Mark Lawson runs technology innovation workshops for senior waste industry leaders and spots the opportunity to use data to make waste more transparent and sustainable. Mark begins his search to setup a waste data company.
