Intelligent bins are coming to Đà Nẵng City, thanks to Japanese tire producer Bridgestone Việt Nam’s smart dust bin project.
Bridgestone Việt Nam, the project sponsor, donated 50 smart trash bins to be placed at roadsides and public parks.
The bins are designed to keep organic and inorganic waste separate and have a water filter system and a public-use solar-powered mobile phone charger.
Earlier, the Japanese company sponsored smart bins for HCM City, aiming to raise awareness among locals on environment protection.
The project is part of the city’s preparations for the 2017 Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) Summit in Đà Nẵng on November 5-11.
The company will donate more smart bins to northern cities and provinces. — VNS
