SelfWeigh records waste weight and type as it enters the bin.
Get real weights and monitor waste categories in real time. SelfWeigh provides insight into exactly where waste originates to cut overproduction, manage costs, and meet reduction targets.

SelfWeigh is particularly effective in environments where waste volumes fluctuate by category, activity, or service period.
How SelfWeigh works
Each SelfWeigh bin is fitted with weighing technology and an RFID-equipped lid, allowing it to automatically measure waste after it enters the bin. This creates a precise digital record at the point of disposal rather than relying on estimates, allowing you to optimise operations and procurement.

SelfWeigh Brings Rippling Efficiency Gains to The Westin London City
Business and leisure meet seamlessly at The Westin London City, a contemporary luxury hotel nestled along the River Thames.
A forward-thinking property like The Westin requires an equally efficient operational infrastructure behind the scenes. However, the hotel team faced ongoing challenges in accessing accurate waste data, as vehicle weight restrictions on surrounding access roads prevented heavier, technology-enabled collection vehicles from entering the site.
This meant waste reporting relied on manually measured samples and average estimations, limiting the level of detail available to the hotel. At the same time, the restaurant team was looking for clearer insight into food waste production to help reduce waste levels and support smarter procurement decisions.
To address the issue, Recorra’s Account Management team worked alongside The Westin Innovation Team to identify a practical and cost-effective solution.
After reviewing several options, the team introduced SelfWeigh bins: RFID-secured, self-weighing containers capable of automatically uploading live weight data.
Following a successful site assessment, The Westin London City invested in the innovative technology. The results were immediate. Accurate weighing data for every waste deposit provided the hotel with far greater visibility across operations, helping teams better understand waste production and identify opportunities for improvement.
The implementation also delivered wider operational benefits. A tidier, more manageable loading bay reduced the need for manual handling, improved vehicle movement, and minimised delivery delays, creating a smoother and more efficient system overall.
By implementing SelfWeigh technology, The Westin London City has been able to combine operational efficiency with a smarter, more data-driven approach to sustainability, supporting the high standards expected of a modern luxury hotel.
