  20. Conclusions/ Future Work *We have designed two trashcans with the same capabilities based on resistance and capacitance *This opens up some great simple ideas for smart trash cans in homes and schools *More people would become interested in science, technology, engineer, and recycling if they have this in their homes and schools Senior Design Presentation
