Described is a system for controlling the operation of a trash can lid that includes a shell for receiving trash, a lid assembly that covers a portion of the shell, and an actuator assembly that independently controls the rate in which the lid assembly moves with respect to the shell. Also provided is a system for improving the operation of a trash can that includes a lid assembly for covering a portion of a shell, an actuator assembly, a base assembly, and a hydraulic component. The hydraulic component controls the rate in which a portion of the lid assembly moves with respect to the shell. The system further includes an adjustable volume of space that is formed between the base assembly and the removable liner when the removable liner is coupled to the base assembly. The adjustable volume of space can be used to store deodorizers, insecticides, or the like.

An intelligent sterilization, deodorization and carbon-releasing reduction garbage bin includes a bin body, a bin cover disposed on the bin body, a solution storage chamber and a spray head. The spray head is disposed on a wall of the bin body or on the bin cover. By disposing an inner bucket and/or a garbage bag each with a liquid storage cavity, a molding groove, the liquid storage chamber, the spray head and an intelligent control device, the solution storage chamber being for storing a sterilization and deodorization solution, and the spray head being for spraying the solution stored in the liquid storage chamber, which can filter out water in garbage uninterruptedly and spray a special liquid with effects of sterilization, deodorization and carbon-releasing reduction into the garbage as needed and in an automatic timed and quantitative manner, thereby comprehensively playing multiple beneficial effects in sterilization, deodorization and carbon-releasing reduction.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide an organic matter processing apparatus and method for the use thereof to convert organic matter into a ground and desiccated product. The organic matter processing apparatus includes a lid assembly that is positioned at the top or head of the processing apparatus and an air treatment system. The lid assembly is operative to open to allow a user to deposit organic matter into the processing apparatus or to remove a removable bucket contained therein. The lid assembly is operative to close and provide an odor containing seal that prevents or substantially mitigates escape of odor. The air treatment system uniformly distributes untreated air through an air treatment chamber to convert the untreated air to treated air, which is exhausted out of the processing apparatus.
