Abstract
Nowadays, waste management is one of the problems on which millions of dollars are spent worldwide. the key issue in waste management is waste collection and sorting. Also, one of the issues in the waste management is that the garbage bin at public places gets overflowed in advance before the commencement of the next cleaning process. This, in turn, leads to various hazards such as bad odor & ugliness to that place which may be the root cause for the spread of various diseases. To tackle this problem, we propose the IOT enabled dustbins in this paper. these bins, use ultrasonic sensors for quantity measurement and infrared sensor for tracking of the wastes linked with a web-based online system and according to the level of waste added, host server calculates the points and updates in the IOT (Internet of Things). Also, it measures the fullness of the dustbins and updates the status of each dustbin on the municipal server. It notifies them when the dustbin is full and provides alert to empty all the dustbins based on the capacity of the municipal waste loading vehicles. Our system, target two crucial problems, cost efficiency in waste sorting and waste collection processes.
