The rate increasing population in our country has
increasing rapidly and also we have increase in garbage
which have increased environmental issue. Dustbin is a
container which collects garbage or stores items which
are recyclable or non- recyclable. They are usually used
in homes, office etc, but in case they are full no one is
there to clean it and the garbage are spilled out.
Therefore, we have designed a smart dustbin using
ARDUINO UNO, ultrasonic sensor which will sense the
item to be thrown in the dustbin and open the lid with
the help of the motor. It is an IOT based project that will
bring a new and smart way of cleanliness. It is a decent
gadget to make your home clean, due to practically all
offspring of home consistently make it grimy and spread
litter to a great extent by rappers and various other
things. Since the smart dustbin is additionally intriguing
and children make fun with it so it will help to maintain
cleanliness in home. It will be applied for various type of
waste
We will need the following components for making the
Arduino Smart Dustbin:
1. Arduino Uno
It is a development board that manages all of the
processing for smart dustbin projects.
2. Ultrasonic Sensor-HC-SR-04
This sensor functions as an object detecting sensor. It
measures the object's distance from the sensor.
3. SG-90 Servo
A Servo motor is used for moving the dust bin lid.
4. Jumper Wires
Used to do circuit connections between different
components.
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo;
int trigPin = 9;
int echoPin = 10;
long duration;
int distance;
void setup() {
myservo.attach(11);

digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
distance = duration * 0.034 / 2;
if (distance < 20) {
myservo.write(90); // Open the lid
delay(5000); // Wait for 5 seconds
} else {
myservo.write(0); // Close the lid
}
delay(100);
}

The circuit diagram of smart dustbin is shown in given
above Arduino Uno board consist ATmega328 P
microcontroller, it is important component of UNO board.
In this other components are present like a power supply,
ultrasonic module and servo motor etc.
The ultrasonic sensor echo pin and trigger pin is
connected to pin digital pin 07 and D8. The Vcc pin is
connected to +5V supply and GND pin is connected to
ground pin of Arduino Uno board. The control (PWM) pin
of servo motor is connected to digital pin D9 of arduino.
Hence, servo motor is used to open the lid of dustbin.
For this project and components used, the preset level of
distance between dustbin and hand is fixed to 15 cm.
Ultrasonic Sensor: This sensor is used in to locate the
distance between the smart dustbin and hand/object
come near to it. The principle behind finding distance of
obstacle is sonar wave. It only detects obstacle when
Trigger pin receive high pulse for the period more than
10 us. When this sensor verifies the presence of hand
(obstacle) it starts to send eight cycles of ultrasonic burst
at 40 KHz and then it waits for reflected ultrasonic signal.
Ultrasonic sensor module has two drums. One of the
drums is used for transmitting the pulse of ultrasonic and
the second drums are for receiving the ultrasonic signal.
When ultrasonic detect/sense object, the echo pin of
module is set high. Waiting period of reflected pulse is
completely dependent upon the location of obstacle.
When the echo signal is obtained, we can calculate the
distance by using the formula
Distance (in cm) = (duration/2)/29.1
Firstly we have to take a can and make a lid using
cardboard attached on side of the lid with the can and the
other side will be open attach servo motor in the top of
lid Once the servo is in position, you can move onto the
Ultrasonic Sensor. Make two holes corresponding to the
Ultrasonic Sensor on the dustbin .
WARNING: You have to use a sharp object with a lot of
force to make these holes. Be careful.
Now, from the inside, place the Ultrasonic Sensor through
the holes and fix its position with the help of glue.
Wiring up the Components:
The final step in the build process is to make the
necessary connections using long connecting wires as per
the circuit diagram and securing these wires so that they
don’t hang around.
All the wires from both the components i.e. Ultrasonic
Sensor and Servo Motor are connected to respective pins
of Arduino UNO. This finish up the build process of the
Smart Dustbin.
After wiring and attaching all the devices and setting up to
the Smart Dustbin, now observe all the important setup
whether they are well connected or something missed.
After connection set up now next step is to submit/upload
code in Arduino and supply power to the circuit.
When system is powered ON, Arduino keeps monitoring
for any things that come near the sensor at give range.
When Ultrasonic sensor detect any object for example like
hand or others, here Arduino calculates its distance and if
it less than a certain predefines value than servo motor
get activate first and with the support of the extended arm
of the lid.
Lid will open for a given time than it will automatically
close
Smart dustbins, equipped with Arduino microcontrollers,
offer numerous benefits over traditional waste bins.
Here are some of the key advantages:
Overflow Prevention: By tracking waste levels, smart
dustbins can alert authorities or automated collection
systems when a bin is nearing capacity, preventing
overflows and reducing the spread of pests and odors.
Efficient Routing: Smart dustbins can communicate their
waste levels to a central system, enabling optimized
collection routes. This reduces unnecessary trips and fuel
consumption, improving overall efficiency.
Odor Control: Some smart dustbins can be equipped with
sensors to detect odors and activate air fresheners or
ventilation systems to improve sanitation.
Waste Patterns: Smart dustbins can collect data on waste
generation patterns, such as peak times and types of
waste. This information can be used to inform waste
management policies and improve recycling efforts.
Here we are going to make an evolution changes toward
cleanliness. The combination of intelligent waste
monitoring and trash compaction technologies, smart
dustbins are better and shoulders above traditional
garbage dustbin. It is equipped with smart devices like
sensor Arduino etc. Lid of the dustbin will automatically
open when an object comes near to the dustbin and after
certain time period it will close the lid.
For social it will help toward health and hygiene, for
business for we try to make it affordable to many as many
possible. So that normal people to rich people can take
benefit from it. Believe this will bring something changes
in term of cleanliness as well technology. So our next work
will be adding one more sensor which will sense whether
our dustbin is full or not. And there will be a display will
be added so that user can notify that dustbin is full or not.
