During the pandemic, we realized how quickly viruses can spread, with waste bin surfaces often being one of the points of transmission. Therefore, the use of waste bins with contactless technology can significantly contribute to reducing the risk of contamination. This paper presents the key components essential for the functioning of the selected mechanism. Based on the morphological matrix, three concepts are derived. The optimal solution is selected, enabling contactless opening and closing of the lid, and is further developed in detail. The decisions regarding the placement and selection of the necessary components for the mechanism’s operation are justified. Finally, a cost analysis of the selected design is included, along with suggestions for future development.
