Abstract

Garbage is an item that we encounter every day and often causes problems. Based on statistical data from the 2020 National Waste Management Information System, in the City of Yogyakarta the highest percentage of waste by type is organic waste consisting of food waste with a percentage of 50.21%. One of the problems that must be addressed is the presence of waste mixed with other types of waste, this is due to the lack of public awareness and knowledge in sorting waste. Therefore, appropriate treatment is needed to overcome these problems. Smart Trash Can is a smart trash can that detects types of waste consisting of organic, inorganic, and metal waste. One of the containers can be opened and pushed by the drive according to the information received from the sensor. This trash can product will also display the type of waste detected through the LCD, so that it can educate users regarding the type of waste. This product is made using strong iron material and can accommodate 5 kg of waste in each container. To open the container used an actuator. Another feature is a hand sanitizer box that also uses sensors, so when the user’s hand is detected by a sensor, the box will issue a hand sanitizer. The method used is PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Action). This trash can is expected not only to encourage innovation in industry and technology, but also to increase public awareness and knowledge about environmentally waste management as an effort to support the global action plan for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
