Abstract: A recycle bin is described having multiple enclosures to separate small waste from large waste. The enclosures may be configured with variable sized subdivisions and shelved on a track to allow complete detachment of the enclosure. Door panels may be secured with securing mechanisms and handles may be provided to facilitate moving. The recycle bin may include casters with locking mechanisms to prevent movement of the recycling bin. The casters may be attached on the bottom portion of the recycling bin. One or more pockets may be disposed on the recycling bin. The one or more pockets may be configured to accommodate lifting of the recycling bin. The recycling bin may be configured for recycling e-waste.

Abstract: A shredding device and method for shredding physical media using household electric power are disclosed. The physical media may include data storage device or medium configured to store information. The shredding device may be configured to facilitate the destruction of the physical media to a final strip size no more than ¾ inches wide. The shredding of the physical media may be enabled by a motor which may be energized by power drawn from a regular wall outlet in a building. In some implementations, the shredding mechanism may comprise rotor members configured to rotate in opposite directions. A sound enclosure may be used to attenuate the sound produced by during the shredding of the physical media. In some implementations, the sound attenuation is achieved through lining fiber wools around the interior surfaces of the sound attenuation enclosure.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating presentation of localized recycling information on a mobile device is disclosed. Recycling information regarding recycling service(s) available at corresponding service locations may be managed. Service presentation definitions associated with corresponding geolocations (e.g., municipality) may be managed for presenting one or more recycling services available at the geolocations. Location information indicating a geolocation of interest to a user may be received from a mobile device. Based on the received location information, recycling information regarding recycling service(s) available at the geolocation may be presented on the mobile device in accordance the presentation definition(s) associated with that geolocation. In some examples, the user may be enabled to interact with the localized recycling information presented on the mobile device, such as setting a reminder, offering an item for recycling, calculating carbon prints and/or any other interactions.

Abstract: A recycling bin includes a top portion configured to be in an open or closed position, a bottom portion, an optional middle portion, the optional middle portion comprising solid walls about the outer surface, an enclosure portion comprising a shelf with a door panel within the recycling bin, the door panel being equipped with a securing mechanism, at least one handle adjoined the recycling bin to facilitate moving the recycling bin, casters with a locking mechanism to prevent movement of the recycling bin when the locking mechanism is engaged, the casters being attached on the bottom portion of the recycling bin, and one or more pockets disposed on the recycling bin, the one or more pockets are configured to accommodate lifting of the recycling bin.
