An Intelligent Waste Disposal System for Hygienic Society

In this overpopulated world, the quantity of garbage generated increases day by day. It is one of the crucial and significant issues faced by the corresponding residential people. Hence the process of waste management comes into play as it is essential to dispose the garbage in periodic manner. If the process is not carried out at stipulated time, it may cause public sanitary issues which consequently affects the health and hygiene of the society. Therefore, it is very much essential to handle the garbage disposal. Nowadays as we see, the garbage bins kept in the residential area overflows as it is not timely discarded. Our proposed system highly contributes to the safe and secure hygiene to the people. This paper describes an intelligent disposal system that employs ultrasonic sensor to detect the level of waste piled in the garbage bin and once it surpasses the threshold limit which we set, an alarm and intimation are issued to alert the municipal authorities. The bin is designed to open when user arrives to throw away the domestic waste. The intelligent bin also provides an opportunity to dispose the waste only into the garbage bin and if any user throws the bin, it is intimated to the use through alarm. The system is built using Deep learning algorithm for ultrasonic sensor to classify whether it is a user came near or it is the garbage thrown outside the bin. As the ultrasonic sensor which we fixed outside detects the presence of user as well as the presence of waste. Hence in order to classify them, we incorporated Deep Learning algorithm using MATLAB which makes the system as an intelligent system and work with increased efficiency.
