Garbage monitoring systems based on Internet-of-Things application

Abstract

Garbage management is one of the primary problem faced by cleaners in terms of the duration of the cleaning process. The design of a smart green environment of garbage monitoring systems is developed based on an IoT (Internet of Things) application is believed to overcome this waste issue. The main contribution of this project is demonstrated by a system based on IoT that allows the waste management to monitor based on the garbage depth inside the dustbin and also the notification of its full condition by using a mobile phone and the Blynk apps. The proposed system consisted of the ultrasonic sensor, which measures the garbage level inside the dustbin. The system shows the status of the garbage through LCD, and a WiFi module (ESP8266) used to send the information to the smartphone. Thus, it is expected that this system can build a greener environment by monitoring and controlling the collection of garbage smartly through an IoT application.
