ABSTRACT :
This paper aims to improve the efficiency of the garbage collection process by developing a system for monitoring waste levels in garbage bins using ultrasonic sensors and connecting them to Arduino Uno board for sending the measurements like the amount of waste level to the user. Two smart dustbins were designed for home use and public use which are monitored in real-time using the mobile applications. Notification alerts are also sent when the amount of waste exceeds a certain threshold level. These dustbins are connected wirelessly using Zigbee based transceiver in the form of a mesh network to facilitate the transfer of the amount of waste present in these dustbins to the nearest garbage collection truck and an optimized shortest route to be followed by the garbage collector truck is calculated. The proposed system is user friendly, compact and cost-effective requiring minimum human intervention.
EXITING SYSTEM:
The status of the bin, especially the fill percentage of the waste inside, should have less power consumption. Different methods used to monitor the level of waste in the dustbin are proposed by several authors, including an infrared sensor to measure the distance by reflecting light waves and ultrasonic sensor measures with the principle of reflected sound waves. Navghaneetal. proposed a method to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of waste applications [15]. A dustbin is interfaced with a microcontroller-based system with IR wireless systems and a central system displaying current garbage status. Therefore, the HTML page that updates the status can reduce human resources and efforts. Another GSM electronic monitoring system is proposed by Aasimetal., which sends SMS to the authority that the dustbin is fully filled to send the truck for trash collection [16]. Ultrasonic sensors were used to detect the amount of trash in the dustbin, and the GSM module was to provide information on the dustbin status. However, this system is only able to detect the top of the garbage level and cannot realize the space left in the dustbin.
DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM :
1) Less accuracy
2)low Efficiency
PROPOSED SYSTEM :
The design and dimensions of the bin are shown in Figure 1. The top compartment, also known as the electronic component compartment, stores most of the electronic components. The remaining compartments are used to store different types of waste. The waste thrown onto temporary waste placement will be detected by Raspberry Pi and then moved into the respective compartment by using servo motors.
ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM :
1) High accuracy
2)High efficiency
