3.3.1 Appearance

This machine replaces the recycling bin, so people will end up throw their wastes into this machine. The size of this machine is about the same size of the vending machine. It is designed with more components unlike our recycle bins now with only three different components where we also need to differentiate the trash yourself. However, with the improvised machine that is being specially designed for recycling, it is more attractive and also have a led monitor and also more component and also incorporate with advanced technology.

3.3.2 Operation

This machine is using card to keep the reward point.  People need to go to particular office to get the reward card then they will use it everytime they recycled.  While they want to recycle, they need to tap the reward card first  When they have enough points they could redeem the point to the recycling office and they will get some money. However, if the people do not want to redeem the points now, they can store it in the reward cards first and used it later.

The work of this machine is like reserve vending machine.  The residents will insert the wastes one by one.  The wastes will be automatically scanned and identified (based on the database program) and after the machine recognized the wastes and accept them, the machine will process and crush the wastes to reduce the size so it will save the vending capacity.  If the wastes were not acceptable by the machine, it means that the wastes are not recyclable.  The non recyclable items will be returned back to residents.  The residents will need to tap it again and the machine will automatically input how much point they will get. However, for items that are not acceptable or not recyclable no reward points will be given.
