InventHelp Inventors Develop Automated Trash Receptacle (LOS-439)

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --  "We wanted to create an automated trash receptacle that would save consumers time and energy when transporting their trash to the curbside for pickup," said one of two inventors, from Granada Hills, Calif., "so we invented the SMART CAN. Our design eliminates the struggle and hassle of moving heavy cans to the curb and back."

The patent-pending invention provides an improved way to transport a trash container to the curbside for pickup. In doing so, it prevents users from forgetting or missing trash collection. It also eliminates the need to retrieve the can from the curb after trash collection. As a result, it saves time and effort. The invention features an automatic design that is easy to use so it is ideal for households, the elderly, individuals with limited mobility, etc. Additionally, a prototype model and technical drawings are available upon request.

The original design was submitted to the Los Angeles sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
