OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to design and develop an IoT-enabled Smart Waste Bin
system to enable efficient waste monitoring and management.
The system aims to optimize garbage collection schedules, reduce fuel consumption, and
minimize vehicle emissions by monitoring real-time fill levels of waste bins.

THEORY

Overflowing dustbins in public spaces lead to foul odors and promote littering. Additionally,
garbage collection trucks often visit bins that are not full,
resulting in inefficient use of resources and higher fuel consumption. To address these
issues, our Smart Waste Bin solution integrates IoT technology to monitor
bin fill levels and optimize collection routes. This project leverages sensors to provide real-
time data to waste management authorities, ensuring timely collection
of only full bins.

REQUIREMENTS

- Simulation/Programming Platform: Arduino IDE, ESP32 libraries


- Libraries/Packages: Wi-Fi, IoT libraries for data transmission
- Hardware Requirements:
- ESP32 microcontroller: for wireless communication and control
- Ultrasonic sensor: to detect fill levels
- Power supply: for the ESP32 and sensors
- IoT platform: for real-time data monitoring (e.g., Blynk, ThingSpeak)

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

The circuit diagram shows the connection between an ultrasonic sensor and the ESP32
microcontroller. The ultrasonic sensor is responsible for detecting
the fill level of the bin by measuring the distance to the top of the waste. The ESP32 then
transmits this data to the IoT platform.

FLOWCHART

The flowchart illustrates the software logic used to collect sensor data, transmit it to the
cloud, and alert waste management systems when bins are full.
DESIGN CALCULATIONS / CODE DEVELOPMENT

For hardware implementation:


- Sensor Data Calculation: The ultrasonic sensor calculates the distance to the waste, which
is converted to a fill level percentage.

For software implementation:


- Code: The code initializes the ESP32 and ultrasonic sensor, reads sensor values, calculates
fill levels, and transmits the data to the IoT platform. Each section of
the code manages a specific function (e.g., initialization, data collection, data transmission).

OBSERVATIONS / RESULTS

The system was tested with various waste levels to verify accurate detection and
transmission. Observations are documented below:

| Test Scenario | Expected Fill Level (%) | Measured Fill Level (%) |
|-------------------|-------------------------|--------------------------------------|
| Empty Bin | 0% | 0% |
| Half-Full Bin | 50% | ~50% |
| Full Bin | 100% | ~100% |
DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

The results showed that the Smart Waste Bin system accurately monitored bin levels and
transmitted real-time data. Minor deviations in sensor measurements
were noted due to environmental factors. Future enhancements could improve sensor
accuracy under various conditions.

REAL-TIME APPLICATION / INDUSTRIAL SIGNIFICANCE

The Smart Waste Bin has real-world applications in urban waste management. By reducing
unnecessary trips, the system contributes to fuel savings and lower emissions.
This technology could be beneficial in cities aiming to improve cleanliness and efficiency in
waste management.

CONCLUSION

The Smart Waste Bin successfully demonstrated a scalable IoT solution for waste
management. By optimizing collection schedules based on real-time bin fill levels,
the project offers a practical solution to reduce environmental impact and operational costs.
