Step 1: Brief explanation of your solution. My solution is a recycling bin system designed to help the municipality manage waste more effectively by encouraging separation of recyclables from general waste. It uses color-coded compartments and a foot pedal to reduce contamination and improve collection efficiency. Step 2: List three specifications for your product. 1. Capacity: At least 100 liters total (30L paper, 40L plastic, 30L other recyclables). 2. Material: Weather-resistant plastic with UV protection, weighs less than 20 kg when empty. 3. Features: Foot-pedal operated lid, clear labels in multiple languages, easy to empty for municipal workers. Step 3: Design two sketches of your solution to help the municipality. Choose one and develop it. Sketch 1 (Simple triple bin): Three side-by-side bins with colors: blue (paper), yellow (plastic), green (other). Foot pedal at base. Dimensions: 1m high, 0.8m wide total. ` [Simple ASCII sketch - imagine rectangular bins] +---+ +---+ +---+ | P | | P | | O | | A | | L | | T | | P | | A | | H | | E | | S | | E | | R | | T | | R | +---+ +---+ +---+ ^ ^ ^ pedal pedal pedal ` Sketch 2 (Integrated tower bin): Single tall tower with internal dividers and rotating top selector for compartments.

Base with wheels for easy movement by municipality trucks. Cost estimate: R500 per unit. This reduces littering and saves collection time by 30%. Final chosen design: Integrated solar recycling tower bin.
