Compact Trash/ Recyling Bin

A combination trash and recycling bin with a compactor and removable wheeled recycling bin designed to save space in apartments. Started with real world user research conducting 30 user interviews as they took out their trash. Found that many apartment residents simply throw out their recyclables due to convenience factors. Using this feedback, explored different form/ transport options that would facilitate simpler recycling and less waste. Through sketching, form models, and then Solidworks created the overall form and physical layout. Created a working CAD model with all the component parts assembled and used this model to create an animated walk through to demonstrate the design in action.
