Abstract

An apparatus may include one or more light components that are configured to emit light to sanitize and disinfect one or more objects included within the apparatus. The apparatus may have an interior cavity at which the light components are located, where the interior cavity is accessible via one or more doors, an opening, a lid, etc. The apparatus may have a conveyor that transports objects from a first end of the apparatus to a second end of the apparatus, where the objects are sanitized during transport. The apparatus may be transitioned from an expanded configuration to an unexpanded/collapsed configuration, and vice versa. The apparatus may be stationary or include wheels or other mechanisms that allow the apparatus to be moved between different locations. Objects that are sanitized by the light components of the apparatus will be free of pathogens (e.g., viruses, bacteria, etc.) that are potentially harmful to humans.
