In the recent decades, Urbanization has increased tremendously. At the same phase there is an increase in waste production. Waste management has been a crucial issue to be considered. This paper is a way to achieve this good cause. In this paper, smart bin is built on a microcontroller based platform Arduino Uno board which is interfaced with GSM modem and Ultrasonic sensor. Ultrasonic sensor is placed at the top of the dustbin which will measure the stature of the dustbin. The threshold stature is set as 10cm. Arduino will be programmed in such a way that when the dustbin is being filled, the remaining height from the threshold height will be displayed. Once the garbage reaches the threshold level ultrasonic sensor will trigger the GSM modem which will continuously alert the required authority until the garbage in the dustbin is squashed. Once the dustbin is squashed, people can reuse the dustbin. At regular intervals dustbin will be squashed. Once these smart bins are implemented on a large scale, by replacing our traditional bins present today, waste can be managed efficiently as it avoids unnecessary lumping of wastes on roadside. Foul smell from these rotten wastes that remain untreated for a long time, due to negligence of authorities and carelessness of public may lead to long term problems. Breeding of insects and mosquitoes can create nuisance around promoting unclean environment. This may even cause dreadful diseases

Smart intelligent alarm system is important in the waste management system. This helps by looking into the public environment cleanliness, maintaining good health and also avoiding bad odour, thus reducing the spread of the disease by the waste garbage. Waste alert system is important for every waste management system. Alert system makes clear indication a dustbin being full/complete, whether one will used it in the home or in the public place. This paper emphasizes on an alarm system which is based on Arduino, which conveys the information through LED blinking for disposal of the waste material of the dustbin. Without proper maintain of dustbin it creates a lot of diseases in the surrounding and also pollutes the ambience.

Approximately 36.5 million tons of garbage is produced by the country annually. If dustbin is not maintained then these can cause an unhealthy environment and can cause pollution that affects our health. The main objective of the project is to design a smart dustbin which will help in keeping our environment clean and reduce human interaction. This smart garbage bin is built using IoT and Robotics. It consists of hardware such as microcontroller, motor driver IC, Wi-fi module, servo motor, battery, etc. which is controlled by remote. The arms of the dustbin move with the help of the servo motors. This project aims to be a better and updated version of the current technologies by adding the robotic arms and mobile nature. For society it will help toward health and hygiene and can be used in smart city projects. This project will be made available for all sections of the society as well as all the possible places.

In today’s era it is very important to manage and handle the waste. The waste bins kept in the public places overflows before the garbage cleaners arrive to collect the waste. As a result, the bins are not cleared off on timely basis and foul smell, maintaining of hygiene, spread of disease are the biggest problems in the public area. Smart Dustbin is the need of the hour for the urban areas. The paper aims at the development of a smart garbage bin alert system. The complete IoT based dustbin is designed and developed to automate the process and monitor it efficiently. The system measures the level of waste inside the bin and auto locks the garbage bin and informs municipal authorities about the same stating the location of the bin so that corrective measure can be taken for timely collection of garbage and avoidance of the filthiness in the area. The system will also adapt with network environment to manage all information from waste management.

For years, waste bin has been part of our lives; this has necessitated many inventions and innovations to make it automated. In this light, much research was channeled towards the opening and closing of the bin when the presence of human is sensed. However, this ma y be considered less smart since the bin will operate when the presence of human is sensed even though there is no intention to use it. To avert this ill, this paper presents the design and development of a smart waste bin. The objective of this paper is to develop a smart waste bin that detects the presence of man at a particular distance (1 meter for usage so as not to spill the dirt) and obeys voice command to open or close the lid. This is achieved by the use of PIR, ultrasonic module, voice recognition module, Arduino and servo motor. Results gotten after testing the developed system shows that the performance of the waste bin attains a better level of smartness compared to existing waste bin.

Most human activities generate solid waste, which is an unavoidable byproduct. Solid waste management is critical to reducing waste and improving recycling. Uncollected trash and poor waste disposal have severe health and environmental repercussions. Furthermore, most public trash bins overflow due to inefficient waste management practices. As a result, for an immediate and optimized waste collection operation, a waste classification management and remote monitoring system are required to properly segregate trash and notify relevant authorities about the trash levels of the bins. This paper presents the design and development of a smart trash bin that uses an Arduino microcontroller to segregate recyclable materials, monitor trash levels in bins, and send an SMS alarm to authorities through GSM communication. A 12V battery powers the system, supplemented by a solar panel. The smart trash bin's design is appropriate for proper waste disposal of recyclable materials. It will assist authorities in planning an efficient waste collection strategy. The designed trash bin costs 180 USD, which is comparable and affordable to existing smart trash bins.

In this paper, a system is introduced to manage waste in big cities effectively without having to monitor the parts 24x7 manually. Here the problem of unorganized and nonsystematic waste collection is solved by designing an embedded IoT system which will monitor each dumpster individually for the amount of waste deposited. Here an automated system is provided for segregating wet and dry waste. A mechanical setup can be used for separating wet and dry waste into separate containers here sensors can be used for separating wet and dry. For detecting the presence of any waste wet or dry can be detected using an IR sensor in the next step for detecting wet waste a moister sensor can be used. In this process, if only IR is detected motor will rotate in the direction of the dry waste container if both the sensor detects the waste then it will go to the wet container. Both these containers are embedded with ultrasonic sensors at the top, the ultrasonic sensor is used for measuring distance....

— Nowadays due to the industrial revolution and technology development, consumption patterns of the people all over the globe have changed. This lead to huge quantities of different types of solid waste are producing every day, which creates an alarming problem of their disposal. Therefore, an effective way is required for solid waste collection and utilization rather than concentrating on disposal alone. In this paper, a smart solid waste monitoring and collection system is designed and developed. The system consists of smart containers or smart bins, each bin or container installed with Arduino Uno, ultrasonic sensor and Radio Frequency (RF) transmitter on the top of the container. When the container is full of waste, it sends signal to the control center which will have the level of waste in the containers and through GSM/GPRS , a message (SMS) will send to the mobile phone of the truck driver of which waste bin is full and need to be empty.

INTRODUCTION Currently the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is one of the main urban lifestyle materials. The annual solid waste is about 1.3 billion tons and it seems it will raise to 4.3 billion tons by the year of 2025, which will cover 50% of the general population worldwide [1]. In addition, managing the waste collection process is one of the most complicated tasks in the rural habitat because the amount of solid waste generated by residential and commercial-industrial sites are huge. Furthermore, the budget spent on the management of solid waste, which is equivalent to 50-70% is used for waste collection. Due to the high amount spent on collection, only a low amount is left for amelioration of the collection operation [2]. The waste management cycle includes the generation of the waste from industries, houses, markets etc. from which the waste is thrown in the garbage bins. This waste is further picked up by the municipal corporations to finally dump it in dumping areas and landfills. But due to lack of resources, ineffective groundwork, some waste is not collected which poses serious health hazard to the surrounding environment. Proper cleaning intervals may provide a solution to this problem. But keeping a track of the status of the bin manually is a very difficult job [3]. A smart waste monitoring and collection system is designed and developed to reduce the cost and the time of waste collection as well as to protect both public environment and public health and provide safe life. Waste collection and monitoring by using new technologies such as Radio Frequency (RF), ultrasonic sensors, GSM/GPRS as well as Arduino, offer a new way to optimize the waste management systems. The Related Works, Proposed System, Results, Conclusions and Future Work have been discussed in the next sections to give detailed information on the work done in this field.

In the recent decades, Urbanization has increased tremendously. At the same phase there is an increase in waste production. Waste management has been a crucial issue to be considered. This paper is a way to achieve this good cause. In this paper, smart bin is built on a microcontroller based platform Aurdino Uno board which is interfaced with GSM modem and Ultrasonic sensor. Ultrasonic sensor is placed at the top of the dustbin which will measure the stature of the dustbin. The threshold stature is set as 10cm. Aurdino will be programmed in such a way that when the dustbin is being filled, the remaining height from the threshold height will be displayed. Once the garbage reaches the threshold level ultrasonic sensor will trigger the GSM modem which will continuously alert the required authority until the garbage in the dustbin is squashed. Once the dustbin is squashed, people can reuse the dustbin. At regular intervals dustbin will be squashed. Once these smart bins are implemented on a large scale, by replacing our traditional bins present today, waste can be managed efficiently as it avoids unnecessary lumping of wastes on roadside .Foul smell from these rotten wastes that remain untreated for a long time, due to negligence of authorities and carelessness of public may lead to long term problems.
