We're having an IoT class at school, and we needed to come up with a idea to help the city department we chose, "the Environmental Dpt".

We thought about focusing on the trash management citywide, made a persona to identify a specific type of clients, and even started sketching the aspect and the features of our project.

Once we had the outline of the project, we started looking for how to connect the different components together, and we came up with a first handmade wiring diagram.

We also find out that as we walk through Paris, most of the trash cans don't have a cover so we'll need to think of a way to create one that can fit on most of the bins with our device integrated.
