  • the invention is based on the object of creating a waste sorting device that can be set up in a washroom, which distinguishes paper, in particular paper towels, from other waste and enables sorted disposal.
  • a waste sorting device comprises a pivotable flap and an electronic controller that is coupled to a waste detection device, wherein the flap arranged in a trough is assigned a motor connected to the controller, which pivots the flap in a specific direction depending on the waste detected.
  • the waste detection device uses signals and information present at the controller to detect whether there is waste on the flap and what type of waste it is. Depending on the type of waste detected and classified on the flap, the flap pivots to dispose of the waste in one of the collection bins located below. For example, a paper towel commonly used in a washroom may be assigned a particular color and/or weight, both dry and wet. Using these criteria can therefore the paper that when using the waste sorting system in a Washroom accounts for the largest proportion of waste to be disposed of, dispose of separately from other waste. Of course, other sorting criteria can also be stored on the controller.
  • beverage cups and/or beverage cans or other beverage containers can be separated from other waste, in particular by means of weight and/or color.
