Study of IoT Based Garbage collection Using Smart Dustbins

Abstract

Waste management has emerged as a significant issue in today's world. Improper waste disposal and mismanagement have led to environmental contamination, directly impacting human well-being. The task of separating garbage is also challenging for workers, and the lack of awareness among people often results in garbage piling up in public areas. To encourage individuals to dispose of waste properly, this paper proposes a concept that provides a scientific and user-friendly platform. In this system, users will be rewarded in a cashless manner, utilizing digital payments and free coupons, as an incentive for their participation.The system incorporates sensors to detect the nature (wet or dry) and weight of the garbage deposited. Based on this information, the waste will be automatically segregated into two sections. Users will receive rewards based on the weight of the garbage they dispose of. The operations of the system will be programmed using Arduino Uno micro-controller, sensors, and GSM technology. Implementing this system will centralize waste collection and segregation, fostering effective recycling practices and mitigating environmental pollution. Additionally, this initiative aligns with the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan scheme initiated by the government of India, allowing individuals to actively contribute to the nation's cleanliness and sanitation goals.
