Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 120 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 waste bin's hourly sensor reading.
  • Include fill level (%), temperature, and bin status (OK/Full/Needs Maintenance).
  • Associate each sensor with a geolocation and neighborhood zone.
  • Record waste type category (general, recycling, organic).
  • Capture both scheduled and unscheduled collection events.
