Design and Development of an IoT-Enabled Smart Dustbin for Automated Waste Segregation and Real-Time Monitoring

Abstract

Rapid urbanisation has caused a big rise in the amount of solid waste produced, making it hard to manage waste and keep things clean. Automated segregation and real-time monitoring are not possible with traditional waste collection systems, which leads to overflow and problems with handling the waste by hand. This paper describes how to design and build a smart dustbin that works with the Internet of Things (IoT) and can separate wet and dry waste without touching it. It also keeps track of the garbage level in real time. The suggested system uses sensors to figure out what kind of trash it is and a servo motor to move it to the right compartments. An ultrasonic sensor keeps an eye on the dustbin's fill level all the time, and when it reaches a certain level, it sends out alerts.

The proposed system uses sensors to figure out what kind of trash it is and a servo motor to move it to the right places. An ultrasonic sensor keeps an eye on the dustbin's fill level all the time. When the bin reaches a certain level, it sends out alerts. The system's software module is fully functional, and monitoring results from the dashboard show that alerts are being sent out and the system is responding quickly. The suggested fix cuts down on the need for people to get involved, makes it easier to sort waste at the source, and works with smart city waste management
