Abstract: A fraud detection system for a reverse vending machine, the system including: a detector adapted to detect at least one container entered into the reverse vending machine; a compactor load sensor adapted to measure load of a compactor of the reverse vending machine during operation, wherein the compactor is adapted to compact entered containers downstream of the detector; and a compactor load sensor monitoring device configured to determine whether the detected at least one container is compacted as expected based on the load measured by the compactor load sensor.

Abstract: A system for collecting waste objects for recycling including a reverse vending machine, RVM, and a carrier arrangement adapted to receive a devaluated waste object at a first location having a first elevation, and adapted to transport and deliver the devaluated waste object to a second location having a higher elevation than the first location and an inlet of the RVM. The system further includes a buffer arrangement adapted to receive the devaluated waste object from the RVM at a third location and to deliver the devaluated waste object to the carrier arrangement at the first location. The carrier arrangement includes at least one carrier adapted to move repeatedly between the first location and the second location. Further, a process of transporting and collecting waste objects.
