Environmental conservation work plays a key role in protecting natural resources and maintaining cleanliness in the community. Our waste bins are essential tools in this process. Their purpose includes the collection of different types of waste, such as plastic, paper and bio-waste, thus facilitating recycling and improving our planet Earth. We used RFID tokens for our device to recognize the type of waste, then a servo motor that would open our bins and close them after the waste was left. The type of waste would be printed on a small screen and thus the waste would be properly sorted. By placing bins, we encourage people to properly dispose of waste, which reduces environmental pollution.
