IoT Based Smart Garbage Management System

The internet of things (IoT) is integrated to provide accountability, interrelation, and data transfer features to a vast number of different end systems. Intelligent cities combine numerous sensors, electronic devices, and IoT resolutions to assemble a restful human living. One of these keys is to nourish an environmentally affable, efficient, and helpful waste managing system. However, waste management is one of the most neglected matters in developing countries, creating an urgency to address this problem. In this paper, we will develop an IoT-based intelligent waste management system for developing countries like Bangladesh, which ensures the proper collection of waste, disposal, and transportation with a minimum amount of resources. This paper reflects a capable architecture of the waste management system that ensures the proper storage of the waste within a limited period. Arduino Mega microcontroller, USR-C215 IoT WiFi, GPS and GSM modules, ultrasonic and IR sensors have been utilized to design the proposed device. When waste is dumped in the bin, if it reaches its maximum capacity, it will alarm the collectors that the trash can is complete so that the time will be saved and the trash can will not be spilled. The main concern of this paper is to develop a highly functional garbage management system that will be cost-efficient and shall assemble the collection of waste as conveniently as possible.
