An IoT Based Smart Garbage Monitoring and Disposal Support System

Abstract

Today globally people designed different systems based on Internet of Things (IoT) principles and made human with smart living. In this article, an important application is proposed for our daily usage and is named as Smart Garbage Monitoring and Disposal Support System (SGMDSS). Since the advent of mobile communication and the spread of the Internet anywhere and anytime, there is a lot of scopes to control the devices from remote places. Solid garbage is one of the prior concerns today globally because improper execution of garbage removal from the villages, towns, and cities affects the people living there and it is the ultimate cause for new diseases. So, proper garbage management by using technology is a major concern of the hour. In the traditional existing system, the monitoring and disposal of garbage are done by humans and it is cumbersome, therefore supporting the traditional system with the flavor of IoT, then monitoring of garbage bins will be easy. This helps the people who are involved in the traditional garbage collection system and it will be the best feasible solution. The SGMDSS is a very innovative information management control system that helps the metros, cities, and villages hygiene and clean with a better garbage disposal. This system uses an advanced approach in which waste monitoring and disposal support are automated. SGMDSS monitors the garbage bins located at different locations and notifies about the level of garbage accumulated in the garbage bins through an android mobile application to the cleaning personnel for disposal and provides the shortest path to the garbage bin location that is almost filled. This information is also sent to the webpage and the entire data is stored and accessed through the cloud. Also, an alert message is sent to the worker.
