The multiple flexible members may be configured to hold recyclable objects within the multiple apertures. The container storage device may include at least one elongated vertical support member affixed to the rectangular frame. The container storage device may include a base portion affixed to the at least one elongated vertical support, configured to maintain the at least one elongated vertical support in a vertical orientation.

A recycling appliance is for processing non-organic recyclable materials and organic materials. The recycling appliance includes a non-organic processing assembly configured to receive, process and store the non-organic recyclable materials. An organic processing assembly is spaced apart from the non-organic processing assembly. The organic processing assembly is configured to receive, process and store the organic materials. A housing assembly is configured to house the non-organic processing assembly and the organic processing assembly.

System and method of managing waste at waste transfer stations. Open faced bins allow human entry for sorting, segregation or quarantining waste before it is moved to or mixed with bulk waste stations. Bins are located in covered or uncovered bays located away from waste stations. Stops and guides for precise and safe placement of bins in bays are provided. Bins have quick hitch connection points. To collect, store and redirect leachates in bins, a liquid capture zone and drain hole is provided. Bay design prevents public access to machine areas and adjacent bays.

A modular receptacle system for storing refuse or recyclable materials, the modular receptacle system comprising a plurality of collapsible bins, a given one of the plurality of bins comprising a base, two opposing exposed side walls, each of the opposing exposed side walls including a bottom edge that allows the opposing exposed side wall to open or fold at a joint edge attached to the base, and two opposing folding side walls, the opposing folding side walls operable to detract or retract at least a portion of the opposing folding side walls from a recess in conjunction with an opening or folding of the opposing exposed side walls at the joint edge, the base and the opposing folding side walls including a mid-section fold that allows the base and folding side walls to open and fold at the mid-section fold, and a plurality of attachment devices that modularly couple the plurality of collapsible bins.

A self-contained and portable/mobile waste liquid collection and storage unit is disclosed. An example embodiment includes: a self-contained and portable/mobile waste liquid collection and storage unit comprising: a waste liquid reservoir within the unit; an integrated sink with a drain; a P-trap coupled to the drain to transfer waste liquid from the sink to the waste liquid reservoir; wheels for mobility attached to a bottom of the unit; and a handle to facilitate portability of the unit.

A sorting apparatus for separating a receptacle into multiple sections includes a first member and a second member. The first member is slidable relative to the second member via respective overlaid portions, and the first member and the second member are configured to engage the receptacle via respective end portions, to secure the sorting apparatus to the receptacle. The sorting apparatus is operable to secure one or more bags or liners within separate sections of a cavity defined within the receptacle, and is operable to increase and/or decrease the volume of the separate sections of the cavity through additional sliding of the sorting apparatus when secured to the receptacle. The one or more bags are usable for separately collecting different types of waste such as trash, compostable material, and recyclables, allowing a user to partition the receptacle and increase ease of collecting compostable material and/or recyclables in addition to trash.

Provided is an automatic classification system. The automatic classification system is designed based on a YOLOV3 technical framework, so that garbage can be classified and recycled, garbage pollution is reduced, and waste is recycled at the maximum cost. The system is designed with a box of a double-layer structure, wherein an upper box is provided with a garbage throwing-in opening, a camera is mounted at the upper box, and the upper top of the upper box is provided with an partition layer for the installation of a solar panel and a storage battery, so as to meet the power supply requirement of the system. The camera captures thrown-in garbage and uses the recognition algorithm to recognize and classify the garbage classes. A lower box is designed into a double-box structure or a multi-box structure according to the class of the garbage, a mechanical and electric control part is arranged at the joint of the upper box and the lower box, two steering engines are used for respectively controlling the rotation of control baffles and a classification baffle so as to automatically drive the garbage to fall into classification boxes corresponding to the class of the garbage. The automatic classification of the garbage can be realized by the disclosure.

Systems and methods for operating a system. The methods comprise: generating sensor data by at least one sensor of a waste receptacle that specifies at least one characteristic of at least one item; performing operations by the waste receptacle to identify first media content that is associated with the at least one characteristic of the at least one item; causing the first media content to be output from the waste receptacle or an external device when the first media content is identified by the waste receptacle; and selecting second media content different from the first media content and causing the second media content to be output from the waste receptacle or the external device, when the first media content is unable to be identified by the waste receptacle.

A centralized hub system for improving automatic waste transport and collection using a self-driving robot, which allows for self-driving and efficient collection of waste in densely populated areas, such as apartment complexes and residential neighborhoods, and areas with a floating population by using robots with built-in artificial intelligence software and hardware and self-driving waste collection and driving functions and an integrated management server for monitoring these robots, and which helps to put information together in this process and use it as base data for the efficient operation of future waste policies and the corresponding systems. The centralized hub system for improving automatic waste transport and collection using a self-driving robot comprises self-driving inlet robots, an integrated management server, and a self-driving vehicle robot.
