Abstract

The costly disorganized waste treatments and reclamation is an increasing factor due to the production processes. Politics of recycling are a model of facing all aspects due to the need of decreasing waste treatment costs and to lower environmental impact. The paper presents a special architecture of a urban bin dedicated for collecting waste for recycling. The bin can be used for promoting politics of recycling by granting people who want to increase their incomes. The idea is to transform cost of waste treatment in gain for people to be encouraged. With this work we want to present the design of a new separate ecological collection or bring system for collecting waste. The technology used is able to remotely manage the history of the users and the status of the containers and of the external structure. For the detection of the waste deposited we use the strain gauges connected to a mobile support.
