The present disclosure relates to a laundry hamper system configured to maintain a level of contained items at or near an opening of the container. The laundry hamper system comprise one or more of a receptacle, a receptacle lid, a coupling mechanism, one or more sensors, a controller, a user interface, a platform, a lift mechanism, one or more wheels, a power source, and/or other components. One or more sensors may be configured to facilitate the lift mechanism to maintain the level of the one or more items contained by the receptacle at or near the opening by moving the platform away from the opening responsive to the one or more items contained by the receptacle breaching the threshold level, moving the platform toward the opening responsive to the one or more items contained by the receptacle failing to breach the threshold level, and/or other operations, in accordance with some implementations.
