Auralocular Autowastebin using IoT

Abstract

As human intelligence continues to advance, so too does the sophistication of our everyday surroundings. The concept of Smart Cities has given rise to a demand for intelligent waste management solutions. Enter the concept of Smart Dustbins, tailored for deployment in Smart buildings, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and public transit hubs. The Smart Dustbin represents an enhancement of the conventional waste receptacle, elevating it to a smart status through the integration of cutting-edge sensors and logical systems. The innovation behind Smart Dustbins lies in their ability to transform ordinary trash bins into intelligent entities. This is achieved by employing ultrasonic sensors for precise garbage level detection, coupled with a GSM module for real-time status updates to users. When a Smart Dustbin reaches full capacity, it triggers an automated Solid Waste Collection system to take action. One common issue with inadequately maintained traditional dustbins is the unsightly spillage of garbage in their vicinity. Such neglect can foster the proliferation of disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes, flies, bees, and driver ants. Moreover, the environment surrounding these bins can contribute to elevated levels of air pollution. Airborne pollutants stemming from a neglected dustbin can harbor harmful bacteria and viruses, posing severe health risks to humans. In conclusion, the integration of Smart Dustbins not only enhances waste management efficiency but also plays a crucial role in promoting cleaner and healthier urban environments.
