Smart City Waste Sensor Events

This dataset provides granular, real-time event data from smart city waste bin sensors, including fill levels, sensor faults, collection status, and precise geolocation. It empowers city planners and waste management teams to optimize collection routes, monitor bin health, and improve sustainability outcomes through actionable insights.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 100 rows came out of a blueprint — 18 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each row represents a unique sensor event with timestamp and bin location.
  • Include sensor status (normal, full, fault) and fill percentage (0-100%).
  • Capture automated collection trigger events and manual override flags.
  • Log sensor battery status for predictive maintenance.
  • Anomaly events (e.g., missed collection, sensor failure) are flagged and described.
