Infrared

Infrared trash cans are great for the home of the neurotic or in a dentists’ or doctors’ office. They function with an infrared sensor that makes the lid open when you hover your hand a few inches over it. It’s like magic – you don’t have to be anywhere near AIDS-ridden needles or spit-saturated gloves (from a doctors’ or dentists) or near horrible things like banana peels and rotting food. Basically, anywhere you don’t want to be near your trash is a place for the infrared trash can. They can be a tad expensive, but this is the price of safety.
