- 2. Objective To control the overfilling of the dustbin by making the dustbin smart enough to notify itself for its cleaning. To detect the human motion and automatically open the lid of the dustbin.
- 3. Existing Methodology Traditional Waste Management: Fixed collection schedules, often leading to inefficient trips and overflow. Manual Monitoring: Regular physical checks of bin fill levels, which can be labor-intensive and inconsistent.
- 4. Proposed Methodology Smart Dustbins with IoT Sensors: Real-time monitoring of fill levels. Data-Driven Collection Routes: Optimized routes based on sensor data to reduce unnecessary trips. Alerts and Notifications: Automatic alerts for collection needs and maintenance issues.
- 6. Components Wi-Fi Module (e.g., ESP8266): Enables wireless communication for transmitting real-time data from the smart dustbin to a central system. Ultrasonic Sensor (e.g., HC-SR04): Measures the distance to the top of the dustbin to determine the fill level of the waste.
- 7. Arduino (e.g., Arduino Uno): Serves as the microcontroller that processes sensor data and controls other components like the Wi-Fi module and servo motor. Servo Motor (e.g., SG90): Controls the movement of the dustbin lid, enabling automatic opening and closing based on fill level or user commands.
- 8. Buzzer: Emits an audible alert when the dustbin reaches a specified fill level, signaling the need for collection. .
- 9. Dustbin Purpose: The physical container where waste is collected and monitored. It houses all the electronic components and sensors. Arduino (e.g., Arduino Uno) Purpose: Acts as the microcontroller that processes data from the ultrasonic sensor and controls the Wi-Fi module to transmit data to the central system. Jumper Wires Purpose: Used to connect various components (sensors, Wi-Fi module, and Arduino) on the breadboard or directly to each other. Buzzer Purpose: Emits an alert sound when the dustbin reaches a certain fill level, indicating that it needs to be emptied.
- 10. Working Fill Level Detection: Ultrasonic sensor measures the distance to the top of the dustbin to determine how full it is. Data Processing: Arduino processes the sensor data and determines if the dustbin is full or needs attention. Communication: Wi-Fi module transmits real-time data to a central system for monitoring. Alerts: Buzzer sounds when the dustbin reaches a predefined fill level. Lid Operation: Servo motor opens or closes the lid based on the fill level or user commands.
