NEW DELHI: Realising the need of the internet in everyday life, two commerce graduates decided to give free Wi-Fi to people in exchange of a cleaner surrounding with a unique initiative -- a 'Wi-Fi Trash Bin'. "When somebody dumps trash into a dustbin the bin flashes a unique code, which can be used to gain access to free Wi-Fi, says Prateek Agarwal, one of the two founders of the initiative. Mumbai-based Agarwal and his partner Raj Desai, a self taught programmer, travelled extensively to countries like Denmark, Finland, Singapore etc and realised that keeping surroundings clean needed apart from a difference in structure, a change in the attitude of people.   PTI
