20251MT4: Waste Segregation Dustbin

Last updated on 27 Jul 2025

Brief Description & Functionality

Waste segregation is the division of waste into dry and wet. Dry waste includes wood and related products, metals and glass. Wet waste typically refers to organic waste usually generated by eating establishments and are heavy in weight due to dampness.

Features

Multiple Compartments:
Dustbins designed for waste segregation typically have separate sections or compartments to hold different waste categories.
These compartments are usually designated for wet/organic waste, dry/recyclable waste, and potentially hazardous or non-recyclable waste.
Clear Labeling:
Each compartment is clearly labeled to indicate the type of waste it should contain.
This helps users easily identify where to dispose of different types of waste.
Separation Mechanisms:
Advanced waste segregation dustbins incorporate mechanisms like sensors and automated systems to further aid in waste separation.
For example, a moisture sensor might detect whether waste is wet or dry, and a lid mechanism might automatically direct the waste to the appropriate compartment.
Durability and Material:
The dustbin should be made of durable materials that can withstand regular use and potential exposure to different types of waste.
Size and Capacity:
The size and capacity of the dustbin should be appropriate for the intended location and volume of waste generation.
Ease of Cleaning:
The design should allow for easy cleaning and maintenance to prevent the buildup of odors or bacteria.
Safety Considerations:
For hazardous waste, the dustbin should be designed with safety features to prevent leaks or spills.
Clear instructions on handling hazardous waste should also be provided.
