At present, the garbage can setting of a family usually adopts a fixed point mode: one dedicated garbage can is arranged in the kitchen and the bathroom respectively, and one public garbage can is placed in the corner of the living room. The bedroom is often not provided with a garbage can for the sake of aesthetics and space, and the residents need to carry the garbage to the living room for disposal.

The process is tedious, and the problem is more serious for the elderly, the disabled or large-area residences - increasing the number of fixed garbage cans can alleviate the problem of convenience, but it will destroy the indoor aesthetics and increase the cleaning burden. Second, there is a conflict between efficiency and hygiene in garbage disposal: when busy, people often wait until the garbage can is full before cleaning it, but the retention of garbage can breed bacteria and attract insects, affecting the hygiene of the home and leading to poor practicality.
