Thanks for all the great comments and suggestions! 😊If you like this video please subscribe. I would appreciate that a lot because it helps to make future videos.

Spending hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to avoid moving a few trash cans once a month… I strongly approve 👌. Awesome project
-
the fact that it moves them like, 20 feet makes this 10x better.
-
Combining recyling, atomation and reliable train lines is probably the most German thing to do. Love it!
-
I really appreciated you showing the many iterations and not just the final version. Creating something will take trail and error and learning from failure. Many people give up after 1 or 2 attempts and deem the problem unsolvable. Its a great lesson in learning to iterate. Awesome project.
-
If I had any confidence that our trash men would put the bin back on the trolley, I'd buy this in a heartbeat =)
-
as a professional train operator i need to say that you need a third light on top of the two, its called spitzenlicht. also a light indicating the end of the train would be usefull (Schlusslicht). Like your train very much, awesome project
-
Incredible. My grandfather was an inventor and model maker for Texas Instruments and made all kinds of useful things like your trash train.
-
Wow this was way more complicated than I thought! I really admire engineers for the awesome solutions they find to problems.
-
What I like the most with this project is the minimalist approach of the track. Many would have goes crazy with a complete train-like track that would have been in the way of other things, so this approach where the wheels run on the bricks on one side is brilliant and really innovative! well done! (now i really need a house... )

This is great. What you need for the next version is automation and scheduling. The biggest pain is when you forget to take the bin out. Scheduling would make sure they go out on time no matter what. And/or having the ability to do it from a smartphone when on the go.

This is so cool with the diy train, definitely can be used as a tool for elder people who can’t move heavy things and people with mobility difficulties, this could work in Europe because of the short driveways and hiding the train in the yard but here in the states, most houses have longer driveways which can make the train a bit more difficult to hide but could work nevertheless

Honestly, I love thes videos so much and so does my 5yr old. Everything he sees as a problem or an inconvenience causes him to start planning what machines or inventions he has to make to solve the issue. Obviously at 5, he isn't really aware of the how yet but he has such a mind for this sort of thing. These videos fascinate him and really help him fuel that drive, show him it is absolutely possible if he puts his mind to it and the work in. Thank you so much for sharing with us. ❤

I’m a garbage man in a small US city in Missouri. I love this idea. People “forget” to put the trash cans out by the street all the time and then call to the city and say we skipped their trash. Your device would remedy that situation. My only input as a garbage man is automatic trash trucks with a hydraulic grabbing arm need more room between the trash cans as to not knock over the can when they are grabbed by the truck. Very cool build I will share with other garbage collection personnel.
-
Small recommendation for the commercial version: you should make the motor portion detachable from the trash cans so that in the event that repair is needed the person can still use the tracks manually. Not sure if someone else already posted this but wanted to mention it!

Having lived in Stuttgart for 3 years I can REALLY appreciate this system. Yet another example of Excellent German engineering!
-
Your enthusiasm and knowledge is admirable! It was a riveting watch and I wished there was more . Thank you so much for sharing.👍

I watch YT on my TV so I had to do a bunch of extra steps here just to come and say "thank you" for this. I love your dedication to avoiding a slightly annoying task, it's honestly amazing. Definitely checking out the rest of your videos now.
-
I’m pretty amazed. The level of ingenuity that went to this is astounding. Mechanics, electronics, programming, welding, machining, etc… you are very talented. Hats off!
-
I can really appreciate the time, thought, equipment, money, work, etc. that went into this. I use my Onewheel to take the garbage can in and out every week - same concept and a lot more fun. :) Although you could take your train around the building and build a passenger car - on the leed car of course. :)
