Street-Size Recycling Bins

The Pitch:
A street-size recycling bin for positioning initially in areas of high foot-fall such as high streets, train and bus stations etc. In this bin would be discarded all rubbish as happens with current refuse bins. It would then automatically sort the rubbish thrown in it into different types and even rinse the cans and bottles. This would then make it possible to recycle rubbish whilst out and about, and would allow recycling of everyone's waste as opposed to just the waste of those who are environmentally conscious and make that extra effort. This would crucially take out of the equation both the education and effort factors as the public would just discard waste in the bins as normal. The costs could be met by the sale of the recycled materials and revenues from 'green sponsorship' advertising space on the sides of the units.
