How many of you have at some point felt that it\u2019s the one time you need a city trash bin when there\u2019s none to be found nearly anywhere. You need to make your way to one, and if not you have one of 2 options; carry your refuse with you indefinitely or be civically irresponsible and litter. But what about if there\u2019s the chance that a trash bin is making its way to you? Technology is quite amazing, and as much as we admire it we\u2019re thankful that what we do as dumpster rental in Trenton and Colborne provider is much more straightforward and doesn\u2019t require a whole lot more than the bins, a fleet of trucks to deliver and pick them up, and a commitment to good customer service and the best price on disposal bin rentals<\/a> around here. <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

Enough about that though. Where we\u2019re going with this talk about trash bins and technology is this; It\u2019s about a good 9-hour drive from here to New York City but if you were to make the trip to the Big Apple you might encounter a trash barrel robot that isn\u2019t the type to stay in just one spot on the sidewalk at all times. <\/p>\r\n

Go Robot<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Researchers at Cornell University has built two trash barrel robots, one for landfill waste and one for recycling, and they are both remote controlled. They were well received in New York, and now the researchers have plans to see how well they are received in other cities around the United States. Now granted these barrels don\u2019t do trash disposal on a mega scale like we do with our disposal bin rentals in Colborne and Trenton, but they move under their own power and there\u2019s a whole lot to like about that. <\/p>\r\n

These self-powered and moving garbage bin robots haven\u2019t been given names yet, but they are either one of 2 colours; blue or grey. But what is more noteworthy is that recycled hoverboard parts are a key component used in either type. They also feature a 360-degree camera and are operated using a joystick. So yes, it\u2019s quite possible that trash robot operator will soon be job title at the City of New York\u2019s sanitation department. <\/p>\r\n

There\u2019s plenty of video footage showing how people were appreciative for the service and one man even remarked how it was nice to have a trash bin \u2018meeting us where we are\u2019 with a play on the expression so frequently used with modern service and marketing approaches. <\/p>\r\n

Still Mixed Reaction<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Apparently some people still had concerns about the cameras and how that might be misused as public surveillance. Some people made obscene gestures towards them and one person even knocked one over.<\/p>\r\n

This type of research is helpful during prototype development because it can flag potential problems robots are likely to encounter when encountering and interacting with humans in city cores or even in suburban areas if these trash bin robots start to be rolled out in satellite cities too. Plenty of those around New York the same way they are around Toronto here with the Golden Horseshoe, but again we\u2019ll stay in our lane and stick to waste disposal and dumpster rentals for Trenton and Colborne.<\/p>\r\n

These news trash bin robots are still a work in progress, but it\u2019s another example of how technology is making major inroads into all industries, including waste disposal and trash management. Something to keep an eye on, because as we know trash and waste is a huge challenge that a lot of cities haven\u2019t done very well with keeping up over the years. <\/p>\r\n

Watching how that\u2019s changing is always going to be something that grabs our attention here, and we hope it\u2019s a subject that\u2019s of interest to you too. <\/p>\r\n
