ABSTRACT

In this recent world, urbanization has increased tremendously. At the same phase,
there is an increasing amount of waste production. Waste management has been
a crucial issue to be considered. This report is a different way to achieve this
good cause. In this report, smart bin is built on a microcontroller based platform
Arduino - Uno board, which is interfaced with an Ultrasonic sensor. It will stop
overflowing of dustbins along roadsides and localities as smart Dustbins are
managed in real time. Once these smart bins are implemented on a large scale by
replacing the traditional bins, the waste can be quickly managed to its efficient
level as it avoids unnecessary lumping of wastes on roadside. Foul smell from
these rotten wastes that remain untreated for a long time, due to negligence of
authorities and carelessness of the public may lead to long term problems.
Breeding of insects and mosquitoes can create nuisance around promoting an
unclean environment. This may even cause dreadful diseases. The goal of this
project is to keep our environment clean. It also aims at creating a clean as well
as green environment.
