Smart Garbage Monitoring System

With the growth of cities, the waste produced also increases. Waste management is one of the primary problem that the world faces irrespective of the case of developed or developing country. The key issue in the waste management is that the garbage bin at public places gets overflowed well in advance before the commencement of the next cleaning process. Overflowed garbage bins are creating an obnoxious smell and making an unhygienic environment. And this is leading to the rapid growth of bacteria and viruses which are causing different types of diseases. Many of the world’s developing cities are still lacking in the area of waste management. The environment should be clean and hygienic for our better life leads. To overcome these situations efficient garbage collection systems are getting developed based on IoT. Various designs have already been proposed and have advantages as well as disadvantages. The main theme of the work is to develop a smart intelligent garbage alert system for a proper garbage management. The system proposes a smart alert system for garbage clearance by giving an alert signal to the municipal web server for instant cleaning of dustbin with proper verification based on level of garbage filling. The system framework uses ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor for detecting the level of waste, Arduino UNO, microcontroller, RFID, GPS, GIS, LED, LCD as controlling boards and other hardware things. This system will allow the city authorities to better management of their resources in the collection of garbage and provide a platform that will allow for an efficient garbage collection system.
