Sanitation Lander
​2018 Better Bin design Computation NYC

A redesigned litter basket for New York City, crafted to enhance efficiency and reduce litter while serving both Sanitation Workers and the public. This innovative bin combines practicality with ergonomic design, featuring metal mesh for durability, drainage, and rodent prevention. Its unique features include:

 1. Pipe Handlebar: A round pipe replaces the previous sharp L-shaped lip, ensuring comfort and ease for workers handling the bin.

 2. Protection from Mushrooming: A metal strip at the midpoint shields the bin during emptying, preserving its structure.

 3. Stackable Shape: A wide opening narrows towards the bottom, facilitating trash disposal and allowing bin stacking.

 4. Side Handles and Supporting Legs: These features enhance stability and provide an ergonomic lifting mechanism for Sanitation Workers.

 

The Sanitation Lander, with its user-friendly design and recycled metal construction, represents a significant improvement over traditional bins, making it a superior choice for New York City’s future.
