IoT Enabled Coherent Detritus Management

Technology has reached and has modified and manipulated almost every part of us human beings. But technology seems to lag behind in developing and enhancing the waste disposal system. The waste disposal system is very ancient and outdated. As a result, the nation lags behind in waste recycling and management system, while countries like Denmark have achieved perfection to an extent such that it has begun importing waste from other countries to keep their recycle plants running. Hence this paper is aimed at modifying one significant part of waste management that can prove to improve the efficiency of waste management. Usually, the Waste Trucks will scavenge streets after garbage bins and will collect the waste. But this happens at irregular time periods. Sometimes a road is visited after the Bin overflows with garbage and a complaint is raised to the corporation. This has a lot of disadvantages as wastes are not properly managed, the bins overflow with scraps and litter the surroundings; traffic ensures as the truck blocks the road at random times. To combat this issue, we propose an idea where we enhance the waste bins by featuring it with a level indicating sensor integrated to the internet using Wi-Fi Module. The whole setup is connected to a central microcontroller. Likewise, all the Bins in an area are given the similar configuration, and these are interconnected wirelessly. Each area is distinguished and is given a separate new identification in the `Coordination Controller.' This is a web portal designed precisely where all the data of the bins are accumulated online in this portal. So by a pre-fed algorithm, the Coordination Controller will be able to determine which area needs immediate attention. The trucks will be fitted with a GPS sensor, and an App-enabled PDA will be handed to the driver. So when an area needs immediate attention, the nearby truck is notified immediately. The algorithm prioritizes areas on a basis like Schools; Hospitals are given high priority, while the less critical areais given least priority. It will be able to analyze which area requires regular attention based on the history and will provide it with a high priority. So if a particular area has a maximum waste generation, based on a pattern that area will be offered primary priority. So when the level of a bin reaches a maximum, it'll be immediately reported through the Coordination Controller to the nearby truck and that particular containeris emptied. This method is Simple, Cheap and easy to implement. This will benefit over the older process in many ways. The wastes are managed efficiently, regular collection ensures. Littering and overflow of waste is prevented. Schools and Hospital areas can be kept clean. An Arduino UNO Microcontroller, Wi-Fi Module and the level sensor will be able to change the way Waste is managed.
