IOT Based Smart Trash Bin

Abstract

In the present day scenario, due to increase of waste every day the dustbins or trash cans that are placed at public areas overflow, creating unhygienic situation for the residents and also creating foul smell around its surroundings leading to harmful diseases and other sickness. To control such situation of overflowing garbage, the system implemented a design of an IOT Smart Trash Can. In this system, the trash cans are placed around the city or a locality, where each trash can is built with a low cost embedded device that can check the level of the waste in the bins. Provided, these trash can also have different ID that enables the garbage collector to identify the location of the trash can which is full. Once the garbage level crosses its threshold limit, the status of the trash can is sent to the municipal authority. He/she then alerts the corresponding garbage collector through an SMS specifying the location of the dustbin. When the trash bin is filled with garbage it is automatically closed. The administrator can also manage the streetlight. Here admin can monitor the current status of streetlights, the light automatically work based on the climate. Admin can find the complaint on streetlight and inform to the municipality. Public can post complaints when the filled trash bins are not cleaned or when the streetlight is not working. Peoples can check the status of the complaint.
