Smart bin and intelligent waste segregator using IoT

Rapid population growth has led to the daily volume of waste increasing by leaps and bounds A serious problem for local governments is to take prudent measures to manage landfill waste and to classify and transport it. This paper explains the design of a system to properly collect and separate waste from the public trash can, using the Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper, the trash level is measured and monitored with an ultrasonic sensor and the Blynk app. An automatic locking system prevents trash from overflowing. It also submits the garbage level details to the authority using the Blynk app and the Node Microcontroller Unit (NodeMCU). It also explains the disposal mechanisms using intelligent waste segregator. This smart IOT-based system is accurate, easy to use, and inexpensive.
