Garbage Sorting Robot

Model of Trash Bin

Inspiration

My inspiration for this project came from learning about plastics' profound impact on our environment. I thought of this idea when I was in school seeing people carelessly put trash in the wrong recycling container, so I knew there needed to be a more efficient way to help climate change

What it does

My project automates the process of dividing trash into 4 different sectors of recycling (paper, plastics, cans, glass). This way there is a safer and more effective way to recycle used materials

How we built it

I used the google draw feature to make my model design

Challenges we ran into

This may be too expensive to implicate in the future because some may prefer to keep the four separate recycling bins.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of how my design turned out. I feel like if this was implemented successfully in the future, it could become a very popular product.

What we learned

I learned about how important critical thinking is when tackling major problems in our world. I learned that it is not very easy to create even simple solutions for problems,
