"Please show the delivery QR code." "Scan your face, and open the box." Please wait. We are weighing the garbage you've placed inside. Your points have been credited. This is a scene at the YuanDa Central Park residential community in Yiyang Street, Tianfu New Area, where residents are disposing of their garbage. The smart garbage bins that use QR code scanning and facial recognition have received positive feedback from the residents.
Yesterday, reporters got a glimpse of the true face of the intelligent garbage bin at YuanDa Central Park. In the morning, Mr. Jiang, a resident of the community, came to dispose of cardboard waste at the intelligent garbage bin. After consulting with the staff on site, he accurately placed the waste in the corresponding bin. Within less than 10 seconds after the waste was deposited, Mr. Jiang's account was credited with points.
"This trash bin is smart, and I find it quite interesting. It's like playing WeChat, where you need to scan a code for verification—it's very innovative. After installing this intelligent trash bin, the surrounding environment has greatly improved. Unlike before, the trash bin didn't have an unpleasant smell in summer. I'm willing to use this kind of trash bin," Mr. Jiang said.
Resident verification through facial recognition allows for the opening of the trash bin, facilitating waste collection. Upon entering the bin, an internal weighing device immediately weighs the waste. The weight is promptly converted to points and credited to the resident's account. Users can redeem these points for everyday items like laundry detergent and spices.
The smart trash bin features automatic sterilization, antibacterial, deodorization, 24/7 real-time monitoring, automatic classification with points rewards, and can be unlocked using facial recognition, QR code, or account. Residents can freely choose their preferred method to open the bin. When the waste collection bin is 80% full, the smart bin is activated for waste collection, automatically reminding waste management staff to arrive, thus avoiding the traditional scenario of overflowing bins and scattered waste on the ground. Considering the needs of elderly and children, the community property service center also offers free coded cards, allowing them to open the bin doors.
As per the property management statistics of YuanDa Central Park Community, as of May 31st, 1,263 households have begun to register and utilize the smart garbage bins, with a registration rate of 76%. This has significantly improved the quality of residents' living environment and their awareness of垃圾分类.
