Self-Monitoring Automated Route Trashbin

Abstract

Waste management is one of the vital role of a smart city. Nowadays smart cities are rapidly increase at the same time the pollution rate was also increased highly. So people are doing the things smartly to reduce the pollution. Since the generation of waste is active in nature, it often outcomes in some garbage cans getting overloaded and leaking while other remains almost vacant. An overflowing waste bin cannot only produce pollution but also provide health threats, especially in warm surroundings. Waste management is one of the major issue in our society which would affect predominantly. This project reduces the trash bin waste smartly. The Passive Infrared sensor (PIR) is used to identify the existence with the assistance of motion. The DC Gear motor is used to open and close trash bin by means of rotation and it is placed inside the trash bin. Infrared (IR) sensor is located inside the trash bin which is used to sense the garbage level within its range. If the trash bin is full the buzzer will be on and GSM modem is used to send the message to the respective authority. The trash bin is built with a microcontroller which is interfaced with GSM, PIR sensor, DC gear motor and IR sensor. Once the waste reaches its limits, IR sensor will activate the GSM modem which will aware the involved authority until the trash in the bin is removed. Once these garbage bins are executed on a large level, by replacing our traditional bins present-day it has decrease the pollution level, remove the garbage with investing less time and keep our environment clean.
