Residing in Vancouver, one of the greenest cities in the world, 510 Innovations is currently developing an enhanced recycling bin system, the Green Bin. The proposed design will automatically sort and separate recyclable bottles/cans composed of glass, plastic and aluminum from everyday garbage. It will be designed for use by the typical consumer within office buildings, malls, and other high traffic locations. As the condition of the refuse is unknown, a series of sensors will be employed to determine its composition.
