Keep the critters out and the garbage in.

Although The SmartCans promises to change the way household refuse is handled forever, it comes on the heels of tragic loss. A mother and her two toddlers were out one morning when a bear, attracted by the odor from outside garbage containers, came into the yard, killing one of the young children. Because this happened so close to Kenneth’s house and because he had toddlers of his own, he vowed to find a way to keep anything like this from ever happening again.So was born The SmartCans.

The SmartCans uses intuitive technology to keep the garbage and odors in the Can and anything else (including unwanted guests) outside the Can. Its special features allow access to the Can only when the owner so desires, and by its natural design minimizes decay and bacteria.

Purpose of the Invention:

Patent Pending SmartCans is designed to securely house garbage while delaying the decaying process. This innovative product features a set of indoor and outdoor garbage cans containing solar panels or batteries, digital locks and timers, and a top lid with a valve for creating a vacuum seal. Users may simply place garbage inside of the cans and set times for the locks to activate and release. Upon locking, the lids may become vacuum-sealed to the cans. Using this product may prevent indoor and outdoor animals and children from coming in contact with refuse.

Problems Solved by the Invention

Garbage cans may serve as breeding grounds for decay, mold, bacteria, and other harmful items. Outdoor animals and pets may be attracted to garbage, and therefore may access the garbage and spread it around. This can be dangerous for any individuals who attempt to clean up the spilled garbage. Children may also wander over to garbage cans and, unaware of any danger, collect germs and bacterial while rooting through the trash. An effective, preventative solution is necessary.
