2018, International Journal for Advance Research and Development

Abstract

This paper offers a new method for the garbage collection by garbage level detection. This study has been undertaken to investigate the garbage level in different levels by using smart dustbins. In the modern age, 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. So, inspired by the Swachh Bharat Mission, we developed a Smart Dustbin which will sense the position of human and automatically opens the lid of the dustbins. It monitors the garbage bins and informs about the levels of garbage collected in the garbage bins via sending SMS to the cleaning staff and supervisor of the Municipal Corporation. Once the garbage reaches the threshold level ultrasonic sensor will trigger the GSM modem which will continuously alert the cleaning staff and supervisor until the garbage in the dustbin is squashed.
