Being inherited by the functions of smart trash bins located in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, those ones located in Hue have been equipped by the dual compartments which can separate organic waste and inorganic waste, the reflective decals which can lighten at night and especially the solar power which can be converted into electricity supply for phone charging.
