Abstract:
An apparatus comprises a weight sensing unit being configured to be operable for measuring a weight of at least a drum portion of a waste food machine and an incremented weight with waste food placed in the drum. A processing unit in communication with the weight sensing unit is at least configured to be operable for obtaining measurements from the weight sensing unit at periodic times, for generating data from the measurements for at least determining a first weight of waste food placed in the drum, a second weight of the waste food after the waste food machine has processed the waste food, and an amount of the waste food that has been diverted from a landfill by the processing of the waste food by the waste food machine.
