Abstract

In this work, we designed and implemented an automatic system for the proper use of garbage cans. The system enables the opening of a specific can through voice commands according to the kind of waste the user is looking to dispose. This device was developed using free and low-cost technologies with the purpose of raise awareness upon the proper use, separation and disposal of residuals generated daily in the locations we usually frequent. Therefore, we present here a development which can effectively contribute to the reduction of pollution, creating a positive impact on the environment, saving natural resources and avoiding deforestation by means only of correct waste separation.
