This project was developed during the 2019 Internet of Things Course at Sapienza University of Rome. It is sometimes difficult to know where to put the different types of waste (metal, plastic, paper, etc.)
The aim of this project is to design a smart automatic recycling trash bin, and it is an interesting solution to a before-mentioned inconvenience that comes from recycling metal and other types of waste. By using this, we hope that the convenience of a recycling trash bin that helps users to sort the trash will inspire more people to recycle.
Smart bin offers following conveniences:
-Being able to sort metal waste with an automatic lid for ease of use -Assigning credits for correct sorting through an Android application automated with NFC sensor.
