Autobin X

2026 · Wakiso, Uganda · In development

Autobin X is an automated dustbin that automatically opens when a user is within a 10 cm radius. It can also send Bluetooth notifications to the user’s phone when it is full, so the bin is never left to overflow before someone notices.

This is a solution to two everyday problems: the unhygienic contact with dustbin lids, which increases the spread of infection, and the inability to know when a dustbin is due for emptying. By removing both, Autobin X makes day-to-day waste disposal cleaner and more reliable in homes, offices, and public spaces.
