Despite the best efforts of government and non-government organizations, litter bugs still toss garbage where it doesn't belong. In India, two designers, Nishant Jethi and Aalap Deasi, decided to take this problem into their own hands by creating a waste bin that turns garbage into art.

The designers took their inspiration for the Cleanoscope trash can from a kaleidoscope. Three mirrors on the inside of the triangular-shaped bin reflect garbage into fantastical designs. Peeking in from the top, passersby see a glittering view of items previously thought as useless. According to the creators, the bin can hold 131 kilos (288 lbs) which is almost double the amount typical trash cans in the area.
