Smart Waste Bin Using Arduino

ABSTRACT

The main objective of the project is to design a smart dustbin which will help in keeping our environment clean and also eco friendly. Nowadays technologies are getting smarter day-by-day so, as to clean the environment we are designing a smart dustbin by using Arduino. This smart dustbin management system is built on the micro controller based system having ultrasonic sensors on the dustbin. If dustbin is not maintained than these can cause an unhealthy environment and can cause pollute that affect our health. In this proposed technology we have designed a smart dustbin using ARDUINO UNO, along with ultrasonic sensor, servo motor, and battery jumper wire.

After all hardware and software connection, now Smart Dustbin program will be run. Dustbin lid will when someone comes near at some range than wait for user to put garbage and close it. It’s properly running or not. For social it will help toward health and hygiene, for business for we try to make it affordable to many as many possible. So that normal people to rich people can take benefit from it.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0                                                         INTRODUCTION

1.1                                           BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

WASTE is generated every day, from domestic, industrial, commercial and institutional establishments such as hospitals, market just to mention a few [4]. Solid waste management, monitoring and disposal are very important issues for most countries. Efficient waste management and disposal is required to maintain safe and green environment [5]-[6]. As a result, this necessitates the need for waste bins with lids to contain unpleasant sights and odors and to minimize contamination.

Dustbins (or Garbage bins, Trash Cans, whatever you call them) are small plastic (or metal) containers that are used to store trash (or waste) on a temporary basis. They are often used in homes, offices, streets, parks etc. to collect the waste.

In some places, littering is a serious offence and hence Public Waste Containers are the only way to dispose small waste.

Usually, it is a common practice to use separate bins for collecting wet or dry, recyclable or non-recyclable waste.

In this project, I have designed a simple system called Smart Dustbin using Arduino, Ultrasonic Sensor and Servo Motor, where the lid of the dustbin will automatically open itself upon detection of human hand.

1.2                                                  PROBLEM STATEMENT

Environmental waste causes serious sickness and diseases to people living in such environment. Waste bin contains microorganism which can affect human health and when the lid is left open cal as well cause air pollution which is also dangerous to human health. It solves the problem of waste collection and keeping. This device opens the lid of the dustbin automatically upon detection of human hand and closes after the waste is dropped.

1.3                                                   AIM OF THE PROJECT

The main of this work is to build a device that makes it possible to collect and store waste without making contact with the waste bin.

1.4                                                 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

Smart dustbin was built using ARDUINO UNO, ultrasonic sensor which will sense the item to be thrown in the dustbin and open the lid with the help of the motor. It is an IOT based project that will bring a new and smart way of cleanliness. It is a decent gadget to make your home clean, due to practically all offspring of home consistently make it grimy and spread litter to a great extent by electronics, rappers and various other things. Since the smart dustbin is additionally intriguing and children make fun with it so it will help to maintain cleanliness in home. It will be applied for various type of waste. Dustbin will open its lid when someone/object is near at some range then it will wait for given time period than it will close automatically. Here lid will close when you don’t want to use and it will only open when it required.

1.5                                         SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

This device helps in maintaining the environment clean with the help of technology. It is a sensor based dustbin so it would be easy to access/use for any age group.

1.6                                          PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The main purpose of this work is protect our environment from Air pollution due to a dustbin and also human being from contacting bacteria and virus which can produce life harmful diseases for human.

1.7                                          ADVANTAGES OF THE PROJECT

 Following are the advantages of using Smart dustbin:

• A reduction in the number of waste collections needed by up to 80%, resulting in less manpower, emissions, fuel use and traffic
• A reduction in the number of waste bins
• Maintain environment hygiene (i.e. no overflowing of waste and less unpleasant odor).
• It will help in bringing evolution by technology in term of cleanliness.

1.8                                        PROJECT ORGANIZATION

The work is organized as follows: chapter one discuses the introductory part of the work,   chapter two presents the literature review of the study,  chapter three describes the methods applied,  chapter four discusses the results of the work, chapter five summarizes the research outcomes and the recommendations.
