Dorm Room Waste Bins
Dorm Room Waste Bins
Project to create and produce an innovative protype individual trash receptacle, with subdivided compartments, for use by students within their dorm room to make it easy to keep separate the different types of recyclables.
Need: $1,000, 100% funded
This project is part of the student-led interdisciplinary design organization Berkeley Innovation (BI). Right now the fact that students have one container in their dorm room for all types of trash means the students, when emptying their personal container into the larger residence hall trash cans, are unlikely to take the time to pick out the recyclables from the rest of their trash and deposit the recyclables into the residence halls large recycle containers.
