Recovery apparatus and control method of resource recovery apparatus

A control method for a resource collection apparatus for collecting wastes to be reused as a resource, wherein

• the resource collection apparatus comprises
• an opening associated with a predetermined sorting type;
• an opening/closing unit configured to open and close the opening, wherein the opening/closing unit includes
• a lid configured to cover the opening, and
• an actuator configured to control the lid to open and close the opening;
• a first detector configured to perform an operation to detect a target waste belonging to a user;
• and
• a controller;
• the control method comprising:
• performing a detection operation, through the first detector, for a target waste belonging to a user;
• specifying, through the controller, a first sorting type of the target waste is to be sorted, by using a result of the detection operation;
• and
• opening and closing, through the controller, the opening associated with the predetermined sorting type, wherein
• the opening and closing includes, in response to the first sorting type being specified as the predetermined sorting type of the opening, switching the opening/closing unit from a closed state to an open state, and
• the opening and closing further includes
• identifying or estimating a size of the target waste using the result detected with the first detector, and
• adjusting an opening area of the opening in the open state, by turning the lid with the actuator, based on the size of the target waste, the size being specified or estimated using the result detected with the first detector.
