[0001]The present disclosure relates to dustbins, and more specifically,
to a dustbin that is configured with a magnetic strip on a dustbin handle.
BACKGROUND
[0002]Background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the
information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed
invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Waste container is a container for temporarily storing waste, and
is usually made out of metal or plastic. Some common terms are dustbin, garbage can, and trash can. Waste containers are provided in various public and private locations for the purpose of providing a convenient place to deposit waste for collection and temporary storage. Such containers must have an opening through which the waste can be deposited. This opening is often equipped with a lid to keep the waste enclosed within the container and to prevent unpleasant odors, generally associated with waste, from escaping. The lid also limits viewing of the unsightly contents of the waste container.
[0004] One of the main difficulties with such lids is that users must
physically contact the lid to gain access to the container and deposit the waste. Often a user's hands are full with the waste to be deposited, or other items, leaving no easy means by which to open and close the lid. In other situations, the lid itself becomes contaminated with waste and the user does not wish to touch the lid in order to open it. However, there is no system and device available that automatically assist in opening and closing the lid of the dustbin. Further, conventionally, a smart waste device and waste tracking system are available in the market. The smart waste device and system lack a feature of smart tracking of the bins. In the automatic waste management system there is a need to track a handle of the dustbin while emptying the garbage. Furthermore, in the

conventional waste management system is unable to track a position of handle of the dustbin to lift the dustbin while emptying the garbage to avoid spillage of garbage.
[0005] Therefore, there exists a need of an efficient, effective and
improved a dustbin that is configured with a magnetic strip on a dustbin handle. Further, there is a need of a dustbin handle with magnetic strips that automatically assist in opening and closing the lid of the dustbin. Furthermore, there is a need of a dustbin handle with magnetic strip that tracks a handle of the dustbin while emptying the garbage.

[0030] Problems to be solved in the present invention are that: One of the
10 main difficulties with such lids is that users must physically contact the lid to gain access to the container and deposit the waste. Often a user's hands are full with the waste to be deposited, or other items, leaving no easy means by which to open and close the lid. In other situations, the lid itself becomes contaminated with waste and the user does not wish to touch the lid in order to open it.
15 However, there is no system and device available that automatically assist in opening and closing the lid of the dustbin. Further, conventionally, a smart waste device and waste tracking system are available in the market. The smart waste device and system lack a feature of smart tracking of the bins. In the automatic waste management system there is a need to track a handle of the dustbin while
20 emptying the garbage. Furthermore, in the conventional waste management system is unable to track a position of handle of the dustbin to lift the dustbin while emptying the garbage to avoid spillage of garbage.
[0031] Therefore, there exists a need of an efficient, effective and
improved a dustbin that is configured with a magnetic strip on a dustbin handle.
25 Further, there is a need of a dustbin handle with magnetic handle that
