IoT enabled Smart Dustbin using Zigbee Network

Advancement in technology such as Sensor technology, wireless technology, Internet of things and distributed processing have contributed transformation in the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Now, wired Technology is being transformed into wireless technology because of more efficiency and more reliability. Zigbee is leading wireless technology which is used to implement Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN. It is very easy to connect Zigbee network with internet. In a proposed work, Internet of Things (IoT) enabled waste management system is implemented by using Zigbee cluster tree network. Here, cluster tree network consists of a coordinator Zigbee, a router Zigbee and two Radio Frequency Devices (RFDs) which is connected to the internet. Two End Device Zigbees (RFD) and a Zigbee coordinator have its associated dustbin. All three devices monitor the waste level of its dustbin and collect this information at the server. If any device determines, level of waste is above threshold, notification of such scenario will be sent to municipal corporation through GSM. Notification specifies geographical location along with its level of waste in particular dustbin. So that municipal corporation workers can easily locate position of dustbin. By using proposed method, we can manage waste disposal in an efficient way.
