The following 3D drawing shows the design of core mechanism of the system. The design have very few parts for ensuring reliability, low cost and low maintenance. Because of the rotating rollers due to shear force, rollers guides the movement of crashed bottles from the first trash bin where the bottles are disposed to the other side where they will be collected again in another bin. The spring systems and the hinges play the up and down movement of the crushing plates. The system happens to restrict wrong lane traffic because the structure only allows left side side for forward travel.
