Methods and systems that detect a package type of a package deposited within a logistics receptacle having an entrance chute that receives the package, an image sensor within the entrance chute, and an interaction sensor. The interaction sensor detects when the package is provided to the receptacle. After detection, the image sensor is activated to capture an image corresponding to at least a part of one side of the package. The image is processed to determine a pattern match related to the package type, and the package's type is identified based upon the determined pattern match. The system may also include a dispatch type of server notified with a pickup request from the receptacle. The server may update analytics information related to the receptacle, determine a future pickup schedule for the receptacle based upon the updated analytics information, and transmit a schedule update message based upon the future schedule.
