A Smart Bin Implementantion using LoRa

Cleanliness is a crucial matter for modern cities. The overflow of garbage in public areas creates unhygienic condition and it may induce numerous diseases to the population. In order to avoid all this negative reasons, The bins and the garbage management must be modernized using the Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper we proposed a ‘Smart Bin Management System’ to cover this need. Using a microcontroller and ultrasonic sensors we can estimate the level of garbage and making use of Lora technology. All the information will be stored in an Information System (IS) where the users can monitor each bin and be notified for emergency incidents. Using this IS the users have all the data they need to manage the garbage collection efficiently. Finally, compare to other implementations our project is the first that utilizes the LoRa protocol which is decreases the overall budget and increases the communication distance.
