Iot Based Smart Garbage Bin

Abstract

We often see dustbins located in public places are overflowing.  It puts people in unsanitary situations. It also adds to the unpleasantness of the area.  At the same time, a foul smell is produced. One of the key environmental problems has been solid waste management, which influences society's health and ecology negatively. One of the most influencing issues nowadays is identifying, monitoring, and managing the trash. The conventional method of physically monitoring garbage in bins was inefficient, requiring more human labor, time, and money, all of which could be eliminated with today's technologies. Smart garbage bin is described in this paper. Garbage level is measured by triggering the ultrasonic sensor, showing the garbage level, and connecting to the internet to transmit garbage level data to ThingSpeak Dashboard. And it triggers the webhooks which in turn triggers the If This Then That (IFTTT) software platform and sent the alert as message to the mentioned mobile number.
