Claim 12:
13. A method for operating a refuse container comprising an electronic control unit, the method comprising the following steps:
registering a triggering event based on a lapse in a predetermined amount of time and based on an indirect first data transfer via a first communication interface that can send and receive data;
generating at least a part of control data by the electronic control unit;
transferring the control data via the first communication interface from the electronic control unit to an external device by a second data transfer;
establishing a data connection by a communication channel between the first communication interface and a further communication interface of a further communication device that is not part of the refuse container;
initiating, via the further communication interface, the indirect first data transfer between the first communication interface and a second communication interface of a server that is a first distance from the refuse container; and
initiating, via the first communication interface, a third data transfer from the electronic control unit to an internal device that includes a locking device,
wherein the indirect first data transfer for registering the triggering event takes place via a communication channel that is based on a wireless technology,
wherein the first communication interface has no device for direct data transfer to the second communication interface,
wherein the indirect first data transfer between the first communication interface and the second communication interface occurs through a third communication interface associated with a first communication device, and
wherein the first communication device is disposed in an emptying or service vehicle.
