Sweeping the floor is a tedious task. You have to do three steps: 1. sweep the trash with a broom, 2. transfer the collected trash to a dustpan, and 3. put it in the trash can. And at each stage, the garbage is scattered little by little.

"Bruno" is a trash can that saves you the trouble of sweeping. It has a function to automatically suck up dust, and it omits the dustpan work of 2. from the sweeping procedure.


At the bottom of "Bruno", a motion sensor and a brightness sensor are installed in addition to a dust suction port. These sensors detect the broom and automatically suck the dust. Since the sucked garbage is put in the garbage bag inside the trash can, it can be easily thrown away at the time of normal garbage disposal.



The motion sensor is also attached to the top of the trash can, and the lid opens automatically when you bring your hand close to it.


"Bruno" also comes with a push notification function for dumping garbage via a smartphone. If you enter the garbage collection date and garbage duty in advance, a message will be sent to the person on duty instructing you to dispose of the garbage.


These features run on a built-in battery. The battery lasts for about a month under normal use.


Poubelle, who developed "Bruno", is currently conducting a campaign to recruit investors with kickstarter for commercialization. At the time of writing, you can get one "Bruno" by investing $ 159. The amount required to obtain it will increase in the latter half of the campaign, and the commercial price after the end will be $ 248. Shipment is expected around October 2015.
