Smart Trash

This is a very cool approach to trash that could be a tremendous help to our landfills.

"‘Smart Trash’ functions using two key elements: a Universal Product Code (UPC) or radio frequency identification (RFID) tag to identify specific merchandise and a retrofitted recycling center where valuable items can be processed and proceeds sent directly back to consumers. A Wi-Fi connection provides the bridge between the trashcan and the recycling service."
