QR codes on garbage bins

QR codes used on trash cans and landfills are a very useful feature for society and companies.

Most common information:

• Link to the website of the company that manufactures these trash cans. This option is necessary for reordering/replacing trash cans. Or for additional information, especially for people who have just moved to a new country and are not familiar with the rules of using the bins.
• This can be a link to the website of the waste disposal company. Consumers may need information about further waste disposal, about the address of the facilities where the waste is processed.
• This can be the garbage collection schedule. In each country or city, the schedule is individual. For new neighbors, this is important information. Usually, garbage is collected on specific days and of specific types. It is very convenient when a person can see for themselves when their next removal day is. They can save it in their calendar.
• Rules for sorting waste. Children from kindergarten are familiarized with the rules for sorting waste and the stages of further disposal. But it is good if social services provide additional and necessary information to help consumers.
• Accounting for the number of trash cans. This point is important for the logistics department, which is responsible for planning the schedule of technical transport trips.

Especially useful for those living in private houses.

You can also see a QR code in a photo that leads to the waste management company's website. You can click the button and request waste removal. This optimizes fuel costs because people can report garbage littering. The garbage truck won't have to make an extra trip for an empty trash can. Going out once a week may not be optimal.

That's why there are so many useful applications of codes on trash cans!

All of this can affect effective waste management and increase the level of environmental awareness. Only together, with the necessary information, will we make our Planet cleaner and improve the quality of life for everyone. 

Discuss the topic of environmental awareness with your children and friends.
