Spring is coming up and usually that means that biodegradable waste has a tendency to start stinking in the garbage bin. I used to just use a plastic bag I kept under a table to throw out waste and take it outside after the bag got full, this was usually done a weekly basis and the interesting thing I've noticed is that keeping biodegradable waste in an open garbage bag smells less worse than keeping it in a closed garbage bin. I would accredit this phenomena to the escaping moisture from the thrown out bio-waste making it harder for things to rot and smell rancid.
Now just imagine if you could incorporate a dehydrator into garbage bin and thus expelling out moisture from all your waste thus making it harder for things to rot. The most ideal environment would be to create a very dry environment for garbage storage, possibly with some heat (but not much, because things may end up smelling again due to the warmth).
Now the trick is, could you make the bin cheap enough that the average person would want to buy?

Essentially you would be creating a de-humidifier/garbage container - this would almost be like air conditioning a garbage can. I'm sure it can be done easily (and cheaply) in terms of engineering, but in terms of marketing would people buy a garbage can that has to be plugged in to operate properly?
