Concept of Smart Trash Separation Bin Model

Abstract

Abstract: As the population in cities continues to grow, the amount of waste generated also increases. The improper disposal of waste has become a significant challenge for modern cities, leading to environmental pollution and public health issues. To address this challenge, a smart trash separation bin model has been proposed for smart cities. This paper aims to present the development of a smart trash separation bin model and its potential benefits in improving waste management in smart cities. The smart trash separation bin model is designed to sort waste into different categories such as recyclable, non-recyclable, and hazardous waste. The bins are equipped with sensors and an intelligent system that can detect the type of waste and sort it accordingly. The model also provides real-time information to waste management authorities about the status of the bin, including the level of waste inside the bin, the type of waste, and the location of the bin. The research was conducted in several stages. In the first stage, a literature review was conducted to understand the current state-of-the-art in waste management and the use of technology in waste management. In the second stage, the requirements for the smart trash separation bin model were identified based on the literature review and consultations with waste management authorities. In the third stage, a prototype of the smart trash separation bin model was developed and tested in a real-world environment. The results of the study showed that the smart trash separation bin model has the potential to revolutionize waste management in smart cities. The use of technology in waste management can reduce the environmental impact of waste and improve the quality of life for city residents. The model can also optimize waste collection routes and schedules, leading to cost and time savings. The paper concludes that the development of a smart trash separation bin model is a step towards the creation of sustainable and livable smart cities. Further research is required to assess the scalability and economic viability of the model. The proposed model can serve as a blueprint for waste management authorities in other cities to improve their waste management practices
