DESIGNING A SMART RUBBISH BIN MONITORING SYSTEM WITH IoT

Abstract

Waste management may seem like an unimportant matter because people have been taking this problem very lightly. In certain housing areas and public places, such as shopping mall, lake and apartment, this issue is not given enough thought on how to have a systematic waste management. A lousy waste management system may cause tons of pollution to people such as smell pollution that comes from the rubbish. Also, the risk of sickness and diseases will also increase because it is a known fact that rubbish attracts pests if the rubbish were left outside too many days. This project presents the development of a smart garbage monitoring system in order to measure waste level in the garbage bin in real-time and to alert the person in charge. This paper proposed IOT based smart waste clean management system which checks the waste level over the dustbins by using Sensor systems. in this IOT Project, an Ultrasonic Sensor is used for detecting whether the trash can is filled with garbage or not. Here Ultrasonic Sensor is installed at the top of Trash Can and will measure the distance of garbage from the top of Trash can and we can set a threshold value according to the size of trash can. If the distance will be less than this threshold value, means that the Trash can is full of garbage and we will print the message “Basket is Full” on the webpage and if the distance will be more than this threshold value, then we will print the message “Basket is Empty”. With an addition of LCD display that were attach on the front of basket to give an indicator whether the rubbish bin is full or not. Hence, with this project, we can achieve a great results regarding the waste management issue in our country an strive for a clean environment for everyone.
