Smart Monitoring and Collection of Garbage System Using Internet of Things

Abstract

Waste management system includes monitoring of garbage, collection, transport, sorting, recycling or disposal, and waste material monitoring. The system usually denotes to the materials created by human activity and is generally used to decrease their influence on health, the atmosphere or aesthetics. Whenever the garbage bins are full, it also appears to overwhelm individuals and it allows waste to spill from dustbins. So one of the critical issues that is becoming difficult to lead hygienic life is an efficient waste management system. A smart garbage monitoring framework based on IOT that uses web application PHP programming, Kodular, NodeMCU, Ultrasonic sensors and GPS for communication is proposed to ensure this problem. In the proposed method, the ultrasonic sensor tracks and tests the amount of garbage in the garbage bins, and if a person wants to throw the garbage, an android app is programmed to direct the user to the bin that is not complete using GPS and also sends a warning message to the municipal department authorities concerned about bin status using cloud (Firebase), NodeMCU. The proposed system is more effective than the current system as it simplifies the human effort, saves time and is more cost-effective.
