Design and Implementation of an IoT-Enabled Smart Dustbin for Waste Administration: An Elucidation for Urban Sustainability

Abstract

The brisk augment in population has also led to rapid growth in the urbanization of modern cities, which in turn has resulted in increased garbage production, posing major challenges for garbage management. In this paper, we propose and implement the design of an IoT-based smart dustbin management system, which primarily aims at enhancing garbage administration and promote urban viability. Our proposed system shall incorporate advanced ultrasonic sensors and GSM system enables real time data distribution, to enhance the collection of garbage and efficient disposal processes. We utilize IR sensors to detect the motion of people coming to the garbage bin with trash, while the bin is at full status and block them from adding of more garbage in the trash bin via a buzzer. Through the GSM and peripheral sensors, fused with Arduino microcontroller, detection and real time feedback to the municipal authorities can ensure timely collection thus reducing human intercession. In addition, it adds up to the insight of garbage patterns, which can ensure enhanced resource allocation, planning and collection, improving overall waste management. This paper discusses the design, architecture, implementation and positive impact on the urban cities to obtain a decent level of sustainable living.
