1. A system, comprising:
a waste container including an electronic control device and at least one internal device;
a first communication interface for transmitting and receiving data;
a storage device; and
a server remote from the waste container and including a second communication interface,
wherein the control device stores usage data in the storage device after use of the waste container, wherein the first communication interface has no device for direct data transmission to the second communication interface, wherein an indirect first data transfer is initiable between at least one of the first communication interface and the second communication interface and between the second communication interface and the first communication interface via at least one further communication interface that is provided in a further communication device, wherein the further communication device is not associated with the waste container, wherein the stored usage data are transferable via the indirect first data transfer to the server, wherein at least the control device generates control data that are transferable to the at least one internal device through the first communication interface, wherein data included in the indirect first data transfer includes an access list comprising authorization data of users for an offline usage, wherein the access list is stored in the storage device for offline use, and wherein the offline use comprises a user identification between a receiving device capable of receiving identification data and an identification device.
