Abstract :
The spread of viruses continues with the
presence of surfaces containing harmful pathogens,
posing a prevalent risk of indirect contact transmission.
This study aimed to address transmission concerns
through the creation of a Self-Disposing Contactless
Motion-Activated Trash Bin with the integration of
ultrasonic sensors for definite motion detection. A
quantitative experimental research design was used to
systematically gather data on the parameters of distance,
detection time, and weight capacity of the device. The
results of the study proved the feasibility of utilizing
ultrasonic sensors as a main component in creating a
self-disposing contactless trash bin. The device possessed
the capability of detecting motion up to 60 centimeters,
and as early as 0.47 seconds. Its self-disposing feature
has also been deemed functional, with a weight of 1 to 3
kilograms. This study strived to contribute to the
burgeoning field of smart waste management by offering
a tangible solution that addresses the escalating demand
for efficient and contactless waste disposal methods. By
bridging technological innovation with pressing societal
needs, this study emphasized the potential of sensor-
driven solutions in shaping a more sustainable and
hygienic future. Based on the findings,the device can
detect motion within a fair range, function in less than a
second, and self-dispose effectively. It is recommended to
use materials of higher quality to enhance and refine the
operating process of the self-disposing contactless
motion-activated trash bin.
