A Garbage Disposal Management System to Support Swachh Bharath Mission

In the current scenario, people prefer to live in cleaner locality to have a healthy lifestyle. Both organic and inorganic wastes from home are disposed at common garbage bins maintained by panchayat or municipality or corporation. Overflow of the bins are due to the stray dogs pulling out the food wastes and wastes thrown by people from moving vehicles that causes severe health issues to the people in the neighborhood. Lot of challenges exists, though there is an awareness among Indians to Swachh Bharath Mission. The work proposed in the paper is to facilitate a Garbage Disposal Management System using Arduino, a parallel switching network, two ultrasonic sensors, servo motors, GSM/GPRS module, 4 X 4 matrix keypad, piezo electric buzzer and LED. The proposed Garbage Disposal Management System is ideal for busy and public locations such as college campuses, malls, railway stations and airports. Though its design cost is higher than the normal dustbins, it serves for a longer term and easy to handle.
