+''In an interview, it was shared that the idea for the project arose during a moment on the graphic designer's balcony, where a banana peel had been casually left on the table. This observation sparked a realization about how often people overlook proper waste disposal. This led to the concept of creating a map to indicate the locations of trash bins, making it easier for students to find the appropriate places to dispose of their waste.''

+''Four different colors were used to help users distinguish between trash cans. While it might seem that the colors were chosen to represent types of trash, they were actually selected for ease of differentiation due to the designer's colorblindness. Some have speculated that the color-coding was not specifically designed for colorblind users but rather chosen as a time-saving approach, given the designer's focus on larger projects that would later influence their career.''
