Networked waste processing apparatus

Abstract

The present invention is related to methods and systems for waste disposal. In one embodiment, a waste pickup apparatus comprises a network interface configured to communicate with a networked waste disposal unit associated with a first user, a data store containing user rules, processor executable instructions configured to read a user-specified waste pickup rule for a first user from the data store, determine if the user-specified waste pickup rule is satisfied based at least in part on the status information, if the user-specified waste pickup rule is not satisfied, to again determine if the user-specified waste pickup rule is satisfied when a predetermined period has elapsed, and if the user-specified waste pickup rule is satisfied, cause a waste pickup entity to pickup the waste, wherein the waste pickup entity is selected based at least in part on a preference of the first user stored in computer readable memory.

1 . A system, comprising:
 a networked computing system;   program code stored in computer readable memory, that when executed by the computing system, is configured to:
 receive scanned information scanned by a user via a scanning device; 
 generate a user shopping list using the scanned information; 
 enable the user shopping list to be displayed to the user; 
 select an electronic coupon based at least in part on items included on the user shopping list; 
 enable information corresponding to the selected electronic coupon to be displayed to the user via the display; and 
 enable a total corresponding to the cost of items on the shopping list to be displayed to the user.
