INTELLIGENT WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN SMART CITIES

Abstract

Waste management is one of the primary problem that the world faces irrespective of the case of
developed or developing country. The key issue in the waste management is that the garbage bin at public places
gets overflowed well in advance before the commencement of the next cleaning processes. It causes bad odor
and ugliness in the surrounding and in turn spreads diseases. The cleanliness and hygiene of the region is
maintained by mounting these smart dustbins. The main theme of the project is to develop an intelligent garbage
system for efficient garbage disposal. This paper proposes an alert system to the municipal corporation by
checking the level of garbage and making its disposal method easier. This process has an ultrasonic sensor
which is connected to Arduino UNO to check the level of garbage in the dustbin and sends the alert to the
municipal web server if garbage is filled or when it reaches the threshold level. After cleaning the dustbin, the
driver confirms the task of emptying the garbage.
