An automatic trash can is a modern convenience that uses sensors to open and close the lid without the need for physical contact. Key Features: 1. Sensor Activation: Most automatic trash cans have infrared sensors that detect motion. When you approach the can, the lid opens automatically. 2. Hands-Free Operation: This minimizes the risk of spreading germs and helps keep the area clean. 3. Touchless Lid Closure: The lid usually closes on its own after a few seconds to keep odors contained. 4. Battery or Rechargeable: Many models run on batteries, but some can be charged via USB. 5. Variety of Sizes: Available in various capacities to suit kitchens, bathrooms, offices, or outdoor spaces. 6. Odor Control: Some models include features for odor absorption, like built-in filters. 7. Stylish Designs: They come in multiple styles and finishes (stainless steel, plastic, etc.) to match home decor.
