Smart Dustbin for clean city

Abstract:

Today, one of the challenges of most cities and towns are confronting is the decline in
condition of cleanness of the environment regarding the garbage management. This occurs due to
the mismanagement of the garbage collection. This mismanagement creates the spread of
garbage in community which in turn creates unhealthy condition in the immediate area. It also
stimulates several serious diseases amongst the people in close proximity and degrades the
beauty of the area. To avoid mismanagement of the garbage and to improve the cleanness of the
society, Garbage monitoring system is designed. In the proposed system, the level of the garbage
is detected with the help of ultrasonic sensor and sent to the authorized agency for garbage
collection to system. PIR sensor is used to detect the motion of the people coming to the garbage
bin with trash while the bin is at full status and block adding of any more garbage to the bin
through informing them by speaker. The wifi module and the peripheral sensors used are
interfaced through the Arduino microcontroller. A GUI is also developed to monitor the desired
information related to the garbage bins for different selected locations. Depending on the
received messages through the IOT at control room it is displayed on LCD and the authorized
person inform the drivers to collect the garbage on time. This will capably help to monitor the
garbage collection to make the environment smart, clean and safe. “Swachh Bharat” is a national
campaign by the tatutory cities and towns to clean the roads streets and infrastructure of the
country. When the massive amount of waste material is collected, it is difficult to separate and
unhygienic. Now a day’s garbage is separately thrown i.e. dry and wet. The Internet of Things
(IoT) shall be able to incorporate transparently and coherently a large number of different and
heterogeneous end systems, while providing open access to selected subsets of data for the
developing a digital services. Building a general architecture for the IoT is hence a very complex
task, mainly because of the extremely large variety of devices, link layer technologies. One of
the main concerns with our environment has been solid waste management which in addition to
disturbing the balance of the environment also has adverse effects on the health of the society.
The detection, monitoring and management of wastes are one of the primary problems of the
present period. The traditional way of manually monitoring the wastes in waste bins is a
complex, cumbersome process and utilizes more human effort, time and cost which is not
compatible with the present day technologies in any way. This is an advanced method in which
waste management is automated. In this “IOT based garbage monitoring and sorting system” The
separate the wet and dry garbage using the moisturized sensor. This system is based on the
separation and monitoring of garbage using Arduino Uno, Wi-Fi-module, ultrasonic sensor,
moisturized senso. Online identification of the garbage level using IOT, ultrasonic sensor and
Wi-Fi module makes this system more effective than other system.

Working

1st Step:-

WELCOME

Select your mode of operation………..

Dry Liquid Other

Waste Waste Waste

In this project, there are three modes of operation. In first three modes of operation so
we have to select which operation you want to perform depends on the waste.

This modes are…

1. Dry Waste
2. Liquid Waste
3. Other Waste
2nd Step:-

After the selecting the the modes of operation system will recognize which type of
waste you insert in the system after that required amount of heat provided to this waste for
drying and shrinking process. In Case of Dry waste this heat will shrink the volume of waste it
will convert into small volume. And in case of Liquid waste this heat will dry the waste. Due to
this further process of cutting make very easily.

3rd Step:-

In this 3rd step cutting mechanism provided. Due to this mechanism waste volume
reduces and it can recycle very easily. In case of Dry waste cutting mechanism cut dry waste
into granular part so it can easy to packing process. In this the volume of dry waste reduces. In
case of liquid waste the cutting mechanism cut the liquid waste into very small granular pieces.

This granular get fertilize automatically. And this fertilizer we can use in our garden.

Overview of working :-

In this project, we are going to make an Smart Dustbin System which will tell us that whether
the trash can is empty or full through the web server and you can know the status of your ‘Trash
Can’ or 'Dumpsters' from anywhere in the world over the Internet. It will be very useful and can
be installed in the Trash Cans at public places as well as at home. In this IOT Project,
an Ultrasonic Sensor is used for detecting whether the trash can is filled with garbage or not.
Here Ultrasonic Sensor is installed at the top of Trash Can and will measure the distance of
garbage from the top of Trash can and we can set a threshold value according to the size of trash
can. If the distance will be less than this threshold value, means that the Trash can is full of
garbage and we will print the message “Basket is Full” on the webpage and if the distance will
be more than this threshold value, then we will print the message “Basket is Empty”. Here we
have set the Threshold value of 5cm in the Program code. We will use  Wi-Fi module for
connecting the Arduino to the webserver. Here we have used Local webserver to demonstrate the
working of this Garbage Monitoring System. In this project the garbage is classified into two
categories weted garbage and dry garbage. First the garbage is cut into small pieces like a
granular pieces. After that this is garbage is heated to reduce its volume then dry garbage goes to
packing mechanism. And weted garbage decompose and create fertilizer.

Advantages

 Monitors the garbage bins and informs about the level of garbage collected in the garbage
bins.
 To keep our Environment clean & green.
 The cost & effort are less in this system.

Applications

 This can be best used by municipal corporation for their betterment of management 
regarding collection of wastes.
 With the help of proper technology (GPS & SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS) we can
guide the trucks to choose the shortest path.
 It also favours the “SMART CITY” project and “DIGITAL INDIA”.

Future Scope

 It is used in the” SMART CITY”. It is helpful in the government project of “SWACHH

BHARAT ABHIYAN”.
