According to a recent article, it is indicated that 190 kilos of waste are produced every second across the world, which will be disastrous if not managed properly. The fundamental step of waste management is to gather the disposed garbage, and the common involved method is the trashcan. Various researches have given impetus to the development of a clean city. The cleanliness of a city is highly relevant, as poor cleanliness causes foreigners to have a poor impression of a city, further leading to a negative impact on the nation’s image. A smart and automated trashcan is proposed. The trashcan is fitted with intelligent features such as automatic lid opening, movement ability and obstacle detection. The smart trashcan can be accessed by directing an RFID tag to the RFID reader attached to the trashcan. In this case, the user does not need to unlock the trashcan manually during each garbage disposal session. The trashcan is also able to move according to a planned route formed by tapes. Aside from being an automated trashcan, it can also serve as a form of remote controlled appliance. A mobile device application is constructed to serve as the remote controller of the smart trashcan. The user can instruct the smart trashcan to open and close the lid, move around or simply switch to automatic mode.
