A WORLD where you never have to sort your own plastic and glass is on the horizon - but it'll come at a price.

Polish boffins have created Bin.E to take the dirty work out of cleaner living, and it won't be long until it's available for Brits.

The start-up aren't trash talking when they say this is a life-changing product, and it features all the gizmos and gadgets you'd expect from the bin of tomorrow.

Bin.E uses cameras and sensors to recognise different types of rubbish and sort it accordingly.

Using AI, the bin then selects which compartment each item of rubbish should go and places it inside, crushing it automatically to save space.

According to a spokesperson, the bins will be available next year, with offices being the first to benefit from the hands-free trash sorting.

The model will cost £430 plus a monthly subscription fee for an accompanying app that will be used to book in collections.

They said: "After the office version, we plan to create an outdoor version and later the home version.

"We decided to go for the outdoor version for public areas first because it is more difficult to organise an efficient waste segregating system than in our homes."

The bin can't come soon enough for some households, who are being made to win three or four weeks for their rubbish to be collected as councils pressure them to embrace recycling.

There have also been reports of people having to take their rubbish to friends' and neighbours' as privatised services in their area have left them without a collection for TWELVE weeks.

Meanwhile, revealed that at least eighteen councils across the country have or will soon have a three-weekly collection schedule - but their recycling programme is increasing.

John Lewis' utlity buyer Matt Thomas told the paper that similar 'smart bins' to Bin.E are a growing sector.

He said: "We’ve recently seen a jump in specialist bins sales, with a 25 per cent increase in the last few months alone.

Business users will also need to pay for a monthly app, but home users will get the collection service for free

"We have noticed our customers are becoming more and more sustainability focused, opting for dual compartment recycling bins that make it far easier to recycle different types of waste."

The internet thinks that this is old rock is a fidget spinner from prehistoric times.

And this is how you can get a massive 80 PER CENT discount at Amazon... but there's a catch.
