People often voice frustrations about public trash cans. The most common complaints are persistent overflow, especially in busy areas, leading to litter scattering around the bin. Strong, unpleasant odors are another major issue, making areas near bins unpleasant. Others point out the lack of capacity indicators, causing inefficient collection routes, and the overall unattractive or damaged appearance of many public bins.

It features a built-in solar-powered compactor that significantly increases capacity, reducing overflow incidents by up to 80%. For odor control, it uses a sealed design with integrated carbon filters and optional deodorizing sprays. The product includes real-time fill-level sensors that transmit data to city management, enabling optimized pickup schedules only when needed. Furthermore, its robust, vandal-resistant construction and sleek design maintain a clean aesthetic. By tackling overflow, odor, inefficiency, and durability, our smart bin promotes a cleaner and more sustainable urban environment.
