Abstract
Piles of rubbish are one of the major problems faced by most people in Malaysia, especially those who live in flats, as the number of bins is limited and shared among all residents. It may cause pollutions, which may lead to sanitary issues and diseases. This project presents the development of a smart garbage monitoring system in order to measure waste level in the garbage bin in real-time and to alert the municipality, in particular cases, via SMS. The proposed system is consisted by the ultrasonic sensor to measure the waste level, the GSM module to send the SMS, and an Arduino Uno which controls the system operation. It supposes to generate and send the warning messages to the municipality via SMS when the waste bin is full or almost full, so the garbage can be collected immediately. Furthermore, it is expected to contribute to improving the efficiency of the solid waste disposal management.
Highlights
Nowadays, there are tons of flats and apartments which have been built in the rapid urbanization area
This paper presents an alternative in managing domestic waste especially in flat areas via a smart garbage monitoring system, which is developed based on Arduino Uno
There are two threshold levels sets: the first threshold is at 70% of the bin height, and the second threshold is set at 90% of the bin height
Summary
There are tons of flats and apartments which have been built in the rapid urbanization area. This is due to high housing demands which have been drastically risen as a result of migration from villages to cities to find works. One of them is the issue of the domestic solid waste disposal, which cause pollutions [3]. The flats’ waste disposal bins are shared among all residents which live in the same building, and the bins tend to be filled very quickly. An unsystematic and inefficient disposal waste management may cause the bins to be always full with of garbage, and further littering from the residents will cause the garbage piles to be scattered outside the bins. There will be a question of sanitary as those garbage piles may become the root cause of illness and diseases like dengue, diarrhea, and cholera
