Trinity College Nabbingo ICT Club’s Innovation – The Smart Bin
This innovation was not only made to control environmental pollution e.g. Air, water, and Land Pollution and prevention of the germs that cause communicable diseases eg COVID-19, Cholera, Typhoid, Diarrhoea but also to improve on waste management and sanitation hence Smart Cities. The patron behind this great innovation is Tulina Dorothy.
The Smart bin senses when a person moves close and opens to have the garbage disposed in and closes when the person is done. This project is integrated with IOT (Internet of Things) Notifications and can alert the admin in case the bin is full to have it emptied.
