Youth develops censor-based dustbin to promote cleanliness

Rampur: A 22-year-old engineering student has developed a dustbin with built-in censors that would go off if garbage is thrown around the 'Smart Dustbin', compelling passersby to put it in the dustbin.

The developer, Amol Gupta, has undertaken research work in technical education besides attending engineering courses in the Teerthankar Mahaveer University.

He has inducted a censor instrument which is capable to catch the smell of garbage not dropped in the dustbin. It can censor the household wastes thrown on the roads.

Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachhata Abhiyan, the young research scholar informed media that an infra-red receiver, buzzer, transistor and a battery has been used and it took five months time to complete the project named ' Smart Dust Bin'.
