Smart Recycling Bench

The Smart Recycling Bench is a community-focused design that combines seating, recycling, composting, and environmental education into one structure. The bench includes separate compartments for trash, recycling, and compost, making waste disposal easier and more organized. A digital display on the back of the bench can show environmental facts, recycling statistics, or community announcements. Decorative trees and a modern design help the bench fit into parks, schools, and public spaces. The purpose of this project is to encourage proper waste disposal, reduce litter, and educate people about sustainability. By combining technology with everyday public furniture, the Smart Recycling Bench helps create cleaner and greener communities.

Start by placing a large rectangular box on the workplane. This will serve as the foundation of the recycling bench and hold the waste compartments.

Add a taller rectangular box on top of the back portion of the base. This section represents the information center where a digital display and educational screens will be located.

Place a large rectangular box on top of the back panel. Color it dark blue to represent a solar panel that provides renewable energy for the display and sensors.

Add a large rectangle to the center of the back panel. Color it blue to represent the main screen that can display recycling statistics, environmental facts, and community information.

Place two smaller rectangular screens on both sides of the main display. These can be used for educational messages, recycling instructions, or advertisements promoting environmental awareness.

Add a long, thin rectangular box across the front section of the structure. Color it tan to resemble a wooden bench seat where people can sit.

Place three square boxes along the front of the structure.

1. Gray bin labeled "Trash"
2. Blue bin labeled "Recycle"
3. Green bin labeled "Compost"

These compartments allow people who use the bench to sort their waste properly.

Use the Text tool to create labels for each waste compartment. Position the labels on the front of the bins so users can easily identify where each type of waste belongs.

Place tree objects on both sides of the bench. These decorations help represent the environmental focus of the project and improve the appearance of the design.

Use the Align tool to center all components and make the design symmetrical. Adjust colors and sizing as needed to create a clean, professional-looking model.
