Abstract
A waste compartment system for an aircraft can include a motor operated door and a proximity sensor configured to sense an object near the door or approaching the door. The system can include a control module operatively connected to the proximity sensor and configured to open the door in response to the proximity sensor sensing an object near the door. The control module can be configured to close the door after a preset time after the proximity sensor senses an object.
