Abstract: Nowadays, conflict between humans and macaques has become a major issue that is frequently reported. Among the conflicts that often performed by the long-tailed macaques are littering, damaging facilities, breaking into human areas, messing up trash bins, disturbing people and stealing. Overall, food is a major source of conflict between humans and macaques. The food from the trash bins found in residential, and recreation areas are the attraction of long-tailed macaques to bring the conflict. Long-tailed macaques able to easily open the secured trash bins for scavenging for food. Therefore, anti-animal trash bin was designed to solve this problem. This anti-animal trash bin has been specially designed with an opening and locking mechanism that prevents the long-tailed macaques from opening the trash. The drawing of anti-animal trash bin was using SolidWork software to show its design features. In addition, a questionnaire was also conducted to obtain feedback from the users about the product.
