The bin detects the tables that need to be cleared and the presence of customers at a table... The bin recognizes that a table needs to be cleared out in order to let anybody else sit... Trash-IT is an intelligent waste collection system that reduces human workload and increases efficiency within an eating environment. The problem of waste disposal within a dining establishment affects both staff and customers throughout the day by leaving tables unoccupied but covered in trash and dishes. These tables are therefore rendered useless to both the customers and the business, resulting in a loss of customer satisfaction and profit. Ambient detection allows the Trash-IT system to integrate seamlessly into any environment and minimize the amount of time a table is dirty after use. Trash-IT will detect when customers vacate a table, as well as waste subsequently left behind. The system will then alert the staff of this information, and a collection bin will autonomously move to the table..
