An Intelligent Smart Bin System for Solid Waste Management in Smart Cities

Waste Management and Processing System is important as the amount of waste generated by every city is increasing drastically. Managing large amount of waste is a very difficult task. One of the herculean tasks in this scenario is the procedure for checking the waste bin levels manually. So, we need a smarter way for collecting and managing the waste in an efficient manner. This model introduces an IoT aided smart waste management system which uses various sensors to detect the level of garbage in the bin. When the waste reaches a certain threshold value, an alert message is transmitted to the authorities concerned so that proper actions can be initiated for waste management. This system also aims to help the waste collector to track and locate the bins easily through the possible shortest path using Travelling Salesman Algorithm. An Android application is also created which helps the administrator to control and coordinate various activities and also the users to locate the nearby bins. Thus, the model is both economical and time saving.
