Dual sensing receptacles

The trashcan assembly comprising:

• a body portion being surrounded by an environment;
• a lid portion pivotably coupled with the body portion;
• a sensor assembly configured to create one or more sensing regions, wherein the sensor assembly is configured to detect changes in at least a portion of the environment within the one or more sensing regions,
• a computer-readable memory storing executable instructions;
• and
• one or more physical processors in communication with the computer-readable memory, wherein the one or more physical processors are programmed by the executable instructions to at least:
• instruct the sensor assembly to perform a substantially continuous scan of the sensing regions to enable the trashcan assembly to substantially continuously and automatically monitor a present state of the portion of the environment located in each sensing region;
• determine whether the portion of the environment of each sensing region is stable, the stability determination being based on a stability threshold for each sensing region, the stability threshold being determined based on proximity measurements in at least one of the sensing regions;
• adjust a sensing threshold corresponding to at least one of the plurality of sensing regions, the adjustment being based on a calibrated value and an environmental measurement for the corresponding sensing region;
• and
• send an electric signal to operate the lid portion of the trashcan assembly from a closed position to an open position when an object is detected within at least one sensing region, based in part on the detection of the object exceeding the adjusted sensing threshold.
