I want this for residential. Instead of having a "trash day" I wait until my garbage can is full, click a button on my app, and tomorrow morning someone comes and picks up my trash.
- santaclaus 9y agoNo need for a button -- add pressure sensors inside the trash can and it can signal the garbage person for you.
- bpicolo 9y agoThere are companies doing exactly that already
- diafygi 9y agoOh man, I can't wait to hear about a botnet of garbage bins.
- ben_jones 9y agoHey, wordpress blogs aren't that bad.
- kevinmchugh 9y agoNow the trash can needs to be powered on, connected to my wifi network - does my wifi reach to the curb where I leave my cans? - and I'm locked in to the cans provided by the trash company.
- toast0 9y ago> and I'm locked in to the cans provided by the trash company. Municipal trash contracts are frequently locking you into cans provided by the trash company already -- they do it to ensure compatibility with the side load machinery, and also so they can charge you based on use; if you produce more waste on a weekly basis, you need to order a larger bin; if you produce less, you can request a smaller bin.
- liveoneggs 9y agoa firmware update has failed on your can, causing your license key to not authenticate to the new api, resulting in a locked lid and license violation fees being added to your account
- santaclaus 9y agoNo need for wifi -- install a 3G modem. Very little data to transmit. The super cans could also signal the garbage people if the batteries are running low.
