The Design of the IoT-based Smart Bin System

Abstract

Waste management is one of the major problems  facing the world today. The trash spillover from  garbage/trash/dust bins and the waste handling  facilities creates unnecessary waste that needs to  be managed. For example, in certain areas, trash  spillover generates pollution as well as various  hazardous situations. In this regard, unmanaged  trash may be the root cause of spreading various  diseases as well as creating huge waste  management and health issues. To overcome the challenges, as well as maintain public health and  cleanliness, this paper proposes the design of an  Internet-of-Things (IoTs) based garbage  monitoring system that measures the level of  garbage in the bins and alerts the relevant  stakeholders. It uses an ultrasonic sensor, load  sensor, Arduino board, GPS Module, buzzer, and  a motor and trash bin (with lid) to design the  system. A sensor network was used to collect the  levels in the trash bins and remotely trigger the  required controls using IoTs. An ultrasonic sensor  is interfaced with an Arduino board to check the  level of trash and display the data on a dashboard.  The administrator will then execute the required  notification and dispatch authorized action. In this  regard, waste management will be efficient, and  overspill managed.
