Intelligent Waste Bin Monitoring with IoT Integration
Abstract
The continuous increase in waste generation has led to overflowing public trash bins in several cities, resulting in unclean air, dirty surroundings, and environmental contamination.The unpleasant odor from uncollected garbage poses significant health risks to humans.To address this issue, ensuring a clean and healthy environment is essential.This project proposes the development of a smart recycling bin equipped with ultrasonic sensors to detect the level of waste within the bin.The system integrates an embedded device that connects to a web server, enabling real-time monitoring of bin status across the city.Once a bin reaches its maximum capacity, data is automatically transmitted to waste collection authorities.The garbage collectors are instantly notified via their mobile devices through an Internet of Things (IoT)-based platform, prompting immediate action to empty the bins.This solution aims to enhance urban sanitation, streamline waste management, and promote sustainable practices by leveraging IoT technology.
