Smart Recycling Station

I made a Smart Recycling Station to help promote Recycling. This Recycling Station provides those who recycle with benefits like points that can be redeemed for prizes. This makes people want to do a good deed like recycling instead of feeling like they have to or should do it.

I used the following Tinkercad

Simply add a box that would work as the base for the trash can. This would be the size for all three trash cans combined.

Now I add three equally sized box that show a gap between the three different garbage bins (paper, plastic, trash)

Add a text for each bin labeling it Paper, Plastic, and Trash

Add the holes for the garbage to enter the bin, and group them with the bin

Add a white box with black dots to make a replica of a QR code, which be scanned to receive points. Once the QR code is scanned, the bin gets activated and starts weighing all the garbage you fill up. The weight turns into points which can be used to redeem stuff like gift cards and other prizes.

Make sure the bin is closed from all ends to make sure the garbage dosent leak out from anywhere, and you're all set. You now have a Smart Recycling Bin that is electric and provides benefits.
