GAP: A stylish recycling bin for indoors.
From my gaps (week #1)
I would like to organize the recycling of litter at home without having many bags all around and without wasting a lot of space. I would like the recycling to be in one place and to know in which bag I should throw away each different kind of litter without giving much thought about it. I wish I could find a litter can divided in parts maybe in different colors where I could put the litter bags for each type of litter.

From my concept testings (Week #5)
And from survey amongst my relatives and friends but also amongst my facebook friends online survey, I created the Alpha Prototype based on my Project D. A small recycling bin for indoors, stylish but with such a capacity that to be able to keep the litter 3-4 days in the house without need to open the big plastic recycling bags in the yard all the time.

I attached different color aromatic plastic bags. For the Prototype A I used the clamps of drawing but I will figure out a better solution for the prototype beta next week.

I designed a shield to make easier the recycling litter separation.

We tested and still testing the bin with my sister, we actually use the prototype although it needs to be refined. It is more spacious than it looks and very convenient.
