- Opening cylinder for waste to be thrown in.
Here, there are sensors that detect whenever something is thrown into the cylinder. Once something is detected, the cylinder will close allowing the object to enter the sorting chamber.
2. The lights will flash red to indicate that the Artificially Intelligence is recognizing the waste. Once recognized, it changes colors to indicate what type of waste it was and the sorting begins.
3. Waste is sorted to one of the 4 different compartments. Garby can sort any type of solidwaste ranging from plastic bottles to organics. Currently she sorts PMD/Paper/Organic/Residual waste.
4. Internal bins are shown where the plastic bags will be hanging from. The tiny half-circle towers are meant to help secure the bags in each of the 4 compartments

The two videos indicate when paper waste is thrown in, or PMD waste is thrown in.
