An IoT based Smart Garbage Alert System

With day by day increase in population, number of start-up units, the average waste generated by an individual is increasing every day which leads to severe waste management issues. Nowadays sanitariness and cleanliness are one of the agitated issues by any state all over the world. This is mainly caused due to improper waste monitoring and management processes. To overcome these problems a garbage monitoring system is designed which periodically measures the level of trash in the containers and alerts the concerned authorities. This is done by positioning a sensor network to collect the garbage levels in the containers and remotely triggering the required controls using IoT. IoT is one well-known technology which helps in solving many real-world problems. Internet of Things (IoT) strongly supports the notion of interfacing and observing the realworld objects (things) through the Internet. The detection of bin parameters in the container is carried out using the NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller board. The main objective of this paper is to trigger an alert message to the people concerned when the container is filled thereby avoiding the overspilling of garbage.
