# What happens with my BinSentry data when I overfill my bin?

## If you overfill a bin some of the initial readings may be marked as outliers

The outlier readings in this graph are typically a result of the sensor being covered in feed. As feed is consumed and the sensor can see in the bin, the data will come back as seen in the example on the 17th.
