The RFID Recycling Bin will revolutionize the garbage industry. Equipped with chips to monitor people's trash habits, it will encourage them to be more aware of what they are disposing and how.
Essentially, the RFID Recycling Bin acts as a trash police. If you haven't carted it out to the curb in a while, it'll report you. If you aren't recycling properly, it'll report you.
"Trash carts containing more than 10 percent recyclable material could lead to a $100 fine," says Waste Collection Commissioner Ronnie Owens.
