Project Summary

We are living in an age where tasks and systems are fusing together with the power of Internet of Things (IoT) to have a more efficient system of working and to execute jobs quickly! With all the power at our finger tips this is what we have come up with “Smart Garbage Monitoring System using IOT”

One of the main concerns with our environment has been solid waste management which impacts the health and environment of our society. The detection, monitoring and management of wastes are one of the primary problems of the present era. The traditional way of manually monitoring the wastes in waste bins is a complicated process and utilizes more human effort, time and cost which can easily be avoided with our present technologies.

This is our solution, a method in which waste management is automated. This is our IoT Garbage Monitoring system, a smart way to keep the cities clean and healthy.

Project Objectives

• Solid waste management which impacts the health and environment of our society.
• A method in which waste management is automated.
• A smart way that will help to keep the cities clean and healthy.

Project Implementation Method

The basic Model works like so...

To start with you will have to enter the height of the dustbin. This will help us generate the percentage of garbage in the bins. Then we have two criteria’s to be full field to show that the particular bin needs to be emptied.

1. If your bin is half full you don't really need to empty it. Our maximum amount of garbage that we allow is 75% of the bin. (You could change the bin according to your preference.)
2. If supposing a particular bin fills up 20% and then for a week doesn't change, it comes into our second criteria, time. With time even the little amount will start rotting leading to a smelly surrounding. To avoid that our tolerance level is 2 days, so if a bin is less than 75% but it is two days old  then it  will also need to be emptied.

With these criteria’s in mind let's understand the technical part:

1. An ultrasonic sensor (A.K.A a distance sensor) will be placed on the interior side of the lid, the one facing the solid waste. As trash increases, the distance between the ultrasonic and the trash decreases. This live data will be sent to our micro-controller then processes the data and through the help of Wi-Fi sends it to an app.
2. What the app does it visually represents the amount of garbage in the bin with a small animation.
3. This process will indicate all the bins which require attention, leading the user to take the most effective route.

Benefits of the Project

• Solid waste management which impacts the health and environment of our society.
• A smart way that will help to keep the cities clean and healthy.
