SMART DUSTBIN USING IoT

Abstract

Smart Dustbin is designed by combining the knowledge of internet of things, sensors and electronics. The dustbin is made with low cost approach. Each dustbin is attached with ultrasonic sensors at the top. A distance is fixed in the sensor. After the garbage reaches or crosses that level, it sends intimation to the Arduino which in turn sends the signal to GSM module. GSM module intimates by sending a message to the registered sim within it (Driver’s). So the driver can go and collect the garbage. Another reason for this project is that one cannot check the amount of garbage in the dustbins manually, as there are plenty of dustbins and requires real time monitoring for proper efficiency .It also reduces the operation cost because garbage collection vans goes daily and many time it comes empty handed, however by using this project it will go when the dustbin is actually filled.
