Abstract :

In metropolitan areas, Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) is still a big issue that causes major health and environmental problems. As a result, numerous locations have garbage cans to dispose of municipal solid waste. Overflowing trash cans are bad for the environment and your health. Our idea aims to address this by maintaining a clean and hygienic environment. With Arduino, humidity, ultrasonic, servo motor, wi-fi, and an LCD display, we have created a smart system that will simplify and improve waste management. The Arduino, a little microprocessor that powers everything, sits at the center of our setup. The bins have ultrasonic sensors placed to determine their level of fill. Arduino receives signals from these sensors informing it of the amount of rubbish in each container. After we have collected all of this data, we transmit it to a unique platform known as Ubidots over wi-fi. We can monitor the waste levels in real time thanks to this platform. We receive an email alert from Ubidots when a bin fills up, letting us know when to empty it. Because we can more effectively organize our collection routes, this greatly simplifies garbage management. But that is not where our system ends. The bins now have a servo motor installed as well. By automatically opening and closing the bin lid, this motor minimizes the need for manual handling. Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene is greatly improved by this minor adjustment. We have added an LCD display so that everyone can see all this information. This display indicates the amount of waste in each bin as well as whether it is moist or dry. It is an easy way for folks to check whether the bins need to be emptied and how full they are. Our project is not limited to a simple assemblage of devices and sensors. It’s about utilizing technology to create healthier and cleaner living environments in our communities. We are changing waste management by automating bin lid operations, monitoring garbage levels, and separating wet and dry waste.
