7. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
receiving a first indication associated with a package being scanned for delivery to a delivery destination;
determining, within an environment, a sorting location of the package based at least in part on the delivery destination;
causing a first moveable device to transport the package to the sorting location, wherein at the sorting location, the first moveable device directly transfers the package into a container associated with the delivery destination;
determining a fill volume associated with the container;
determining that the fill volume is equal to or greater than a threshold; and
sending, based at least in part on the fill volume being equal to or greater than the threshold, an instruction associated with causing a second moveable device to transport the container to an outbound location associated with transporting the package to the delivery destination.
