Smart City Waste Management System using IOT

Dustbins are used for disposing the waste. When it gets overflowed, people used to throw the waste outside the dustbin until the garbage collector clears the dustbin. It makes the place surrounded by mosquitoes, bugs etc., and mainly affecting the environment and creates several unhygienic problems. To overcome this problem, we have proposed a system called “Smart City Waste Management System using IOT’’ to manage the waste. The sensors are placed in the top of normal garbage bins to measure the amount of trash and find the formation of any toxic gases. These measures make the sensors send the notifications in form of messages to waste management board. So that they can identify the location and garbage collector reach the place as soon as possible and clean the place. The proposed system is developed using Arduino, ultrasonic sensor, temperature sensor, gas sensor and RFID tag. It offers several benefits to the users such as Protect from bacteria and germs- motion sensor trash can protect you from harmful bacteria and germs and gives hygiene surroundings. Because of sensor technology, there is no need to touch the trash can for opening or closing.
