Project Description: Touchless Trash Cans with Motion Sensor SMARTHOME
Touching a garbage can isn’t hygienic, especially in the kitchen environment. The less you and your family need to touch a trash can, the more you prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. With a motion sensor trash can, you will automatically open and close the lid of the bin without needing to touch the bin physically. When the infrared motion sensor detects the motion of your hand or foot, the lid opens automatically. The hands-free technology makes the motion sensor trash very hygienic and convenient because of the hands-free operation.
Since the start of COVID-19, many people have been cautious and meticulous about their actions, especially when going out of their houses. Small interaction to people and things, they spray alcohol. So this invention would probably help a lot since it is sensored. People would not touch it physically; they would just put their hands near the sensor and it would open. It is solely for face masks and tissues. You can put it on your table since it is small. It has lots of advantages. You wouldn't be contaminated and infected by the virus, and it would keep you and even your family clean.
