Smart bins are innovative waste containers equipped with technology that helps manage waste more efficiently. These bins can detect when they are full and send alerts to waste management services, ensuring timely collection. Some smart bins even have sensors that can sort recyclables from general waste, promoting better recycling practices and reducing landfill overflow. In addition to their waste management capabilities, smart bins often feature solar-powered compactors that compress trash, allowing them to hold more waste. This technology not only saves space but also reduces the number of collection trips needed, making the process more environmentally friendly and cost-effective for cities and communities.
