Abstract: This project was designed to develop GSM Based Garbage Monitoring System. In this project, a smart garbage
management system is proposed. This system monitors the garbage overflow in garbage bin. In this project, with the help of
sensor systems the level of garbage in the dustbin is detected, and communicated same to the authorized person through GSM
system. Infrared sensor (IR sensor) is used to detect the level of garbage. Microcontroller is used to interface the sensor system
with the GSM system. In case of any fire incidents in the garbage bin then the fire alert message is sent to the control station via
GSM.
Keywords: Microcontroller, GSM Module, LCD Display, MAX 232, IR Sensor, Fire Sensor

I. INTRODUCTION
Though the world is in a stage of upgradation, there is yet another problem that has to be dealt with. Garbage! Pictures of garbage
bins being overfull and the garbage being spilled out from the bins can be seen all around. As more number of insects and
mosquitoes breed on it then it leads to many diseases spread out from the bins can be seen all around . A big challenge in the urban
cities is solid waste management. Hence, smart dustbin is a system which can eradicate this problem or at least reduce it to the low
level. Our present Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modiji has introduced the concept of built 100 smart cities in India
“Swaccha Bharat Abhiyan” was initiated to ensure a clean environment. Polluted environment is developed by majority of viruses
and bacterial infections. Safeguarding the environment using technology sources is needed at present.

II. LITERATURE SURVEY

GSM BASED GARBAGE AND WASTE COLLECTION BINOVERFLOWINDICATOR: Vol-3 Issue-2 2017IJARIIE-ISSN S (O)-2395-4396
In this paper, a smart garbage management system is proposed. This system monitors the garbage overflow in garbage bin. In this project, the level
of garbage in the dustbin is detected with the help of sensor systems, and communicated to the authorized person through GSM system. Infrared
sensor (IR sensor) is used to detect the level of garbage. Microcontroller is used to interface the sensor system with the GSM system. An RFID is
used to monitor the desired information related to the garbage for different selected locations. It also monitors the attendance of the authority
person .With the use of conveyor belt and PH sensor the degradable and Non-degradable waste can be separated. Thus the collection
andseparation of garbage is monitored efficiently. After a dedicated survey keen observation it was found that the developing eastern
countries are lagging behind in context of cleanliness hygiene as compared to the development countries. Deadly Swine Flu is an
ongoing example. The death rate is much higher due to unhygienic conditions. In order to cope up with the situation, Shree
Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India has presented a unique example of a way to achieve cleanliness by launching a campaign
popularly known as SWACHHA BHARAT ABHIYAN (Clean India Mission) in which every individual irrespective post and
authority, has to maintain clean surrounding. But it is almost impossible to do so in the contemporary busy world. And here comes
the miracle of science and technology

A. Microcontroller
The AT89c51 microcontroller is used as central processing unit of our project. Microcontroller is a single chip that contents the
Processor, ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, RAM, clock and I/O ports. ATMEGA16A is a8 bit microcontroller with 16kbytes.

B. LCD Display

Fig. 3. LCD Display.

1) LCDs mostly connected to the microcontrollers are 16x2 and 20x2 displays.
2) That means 16 characters per line by 2 lines and 20 characters per line by 2 lines, respectively.
3) LCD having 16 pins for interfacing & signalling & VCCS & GNDS.
4) There are three control lines are EN, RS, and RW etc.
5) EN=Enable (It used for tell the LCD to sending data)
6) RS=Register Select (When RS is High (1),then data being sent is text data)
(When RS is Low (0), then data is treated as a command)
7) R/W=Read/Write (When RW is low (0),then the data Read the data)
(When RW is High (1), then the data write the data)

C. GSM Module
When the garbage reaches the full level the led will be on. Once the garbage is full it will automatically send to the authorized
person detect that garbage is overloaded via GSM. The authority person holds RFID card and clean the garbage. Once the garbage is
cleaned it will send a message to the control station detect that garbage had cleared. In case of any fire accidents in the garbage bin
then the fire alert message is sent to the control station through the GSM.

D. IR Sensor
The IR sensor indicate the level of the garbage to check the overflow condition of the garbage.It emits the light, which is invisible
to naked eyes but the electronic components can be detect it. The IR Sensor is a general purpose proximity sensor. IR sensor is used
for collision indication. The module consists of the IR emitter and IR receiver pair. The high precision IR receiver always indicate
the IR signal].

E. Fire Sensor
The LCD display is used to display the overflow of garbage in the bin .If the level of IR sensor reaches the threshold level the
garbage full message will be sent to the authorized person via GSM

F. Power Supply
When working with electronics, you always need one basic thing: Power. power supply is required for every electronic circuit. The
perfect working of each and every component, the exact amount of voltage and current to be supplied to it. If the power exceeds its
limit, it can be fatal.Below is the basic block diagram of power supply which gives output of 5V, as only that much is required for
microcontroller. In this power supply section is required to convert AC signal to DC signal and also to reduce the amplitude of the
signal. The available voltage signal from the mains is 230V/50Hz which is an AC voltage, but the required is DC voltage (no
frequency) with the amplitude of +3.3V, +5V for various applications. In this section we have Transformer, Bridge rectifier, are
connected serially and voltage regulators for +5V ,+3.3V are 7805 . We need a +3.3V DC supply as the operating voltage for the
microcontroller unit

IV. CONCLUSION
In this, system the garbage can be cleared and the overflow of garbage can be managed efficiently.. This system can also avoid _re
accidents in the garbage cans with the help of fire sensor. This will intimate or send SMS to the authorized person through GSM.
The garbage managing system and the facility of collecting the garbage presently doesn’t it to the current requirement. Hence better
facility of collection of garbage and transportation should be provided. Since, this system provides the information when the bin gets
completely filled with garbage, it reduces the number of times the arrival of vehicle which collects the garbage. This method finally
helps in keeping the environment clean. Thus, the garbage collection We can add GPS modem to this project this will help to track
the position in case there are more dustbins. There is a great scopefor the modification of the Garbage monitoring system in future.
The system can be improved by adding new functionalities like line follower robot to it, when the bin is full directly it is dumping
on tipper. In this, system the garbage can be cleared and the overflow of garbage can be managed efficiently.. This system can also
