Automatic Garbage Collection And Dumping System – A Novel Design Using Arduino And NI Myrio

Garbage Collection and Dumping is the major part of waste management, which has become a crucial issue to be handled in order to ensure healthy environment. In traditional method, garbage bins are placed at public places to collect the garbage, which is usually collected by the garbage collection truck with the help of employed personnel and will be sent to the dumping yard to dump the collected garbage. These bins overflowed frequently before the routine maintenance takes place, which leads to bad order and unhygienic environment causing various life-costing diseases. As this problem is increasing day-by-day, an automated system for effective waste management system is desired which can collect garbage timely without human involvement is proposed and is implemented using NI myRIO, Arduino UNO and NI LabVIEW software. The proposed system consists of two main sub systems- Big Bin and small bin. Big bin moves in a regular predefined path marked as black line in regular time intervals to collect garbage from Small Bins placed in different locations. The proposed system is a novel approach and is capable to automate the entire garbage collection dumping process to ensure healthy environment.
