Smart Dustbin Project with IOT Notifications

Introduction

The urban landscape faces an ever-growing issue of waste management, necessitating smarter solutions. Enter the Smart Dustbin Project, a system that leverages IoT notifications and sensor technology to revolutionize how we handle waste.

Features & Technology

Our smart dustbin is not just a container for waste; it’s a highly integrated system packed with:

• Ultrasonic Sensor: Constantly measures the level of waste to avoid overflows.
• Mic Sensor: Detects hand claps or foot taps to open the lid automatically.
• Wi-Fi Module: Enables seamless IoT notifications to inform garbage collection services when the bin is full.

Hardware Specifications

• Arduino Uno
• Ultrasonic Sensor
• Mic Sensor
• Wi-Fi Module
• Resistors, Capacitors, Transistors
• Cables, Connectors, and much more

Software Specifications

• Arduino Compiler
• Programming Language: C
• IOTGecko for web-based tracking

Advantages

• Automatic Operation: No need to touch the bin; it opens and closes automatically.
• Real-Time Monitoring: The IoT notifications alert the garbage collection service when the bin needs emptying.
• Hygienic: Reduced manual operation lowers the risk of contamination.

How It Works

The smart dustbin uses an Arduino-based circuit diagram integrating various sensors and modules. When you clap or tap near the mic sensor, the lid opens automatically. The ultrasonic sensor measures the garbage level in real-time and sends IoT notifications through IOTGecko. This information is crucial for waste management services, enabling efficient scheduling for emptying the bins.

Applications

• Offices
• Public Places
• Residential Areas

Conclusion

By embracing technologies like IoT and sensor-based circuitry, our Smart Dustbin Project offers a robust solution for modern waste management challenges. From automatic operations to real-time monitoring via IoT notifications, this dustbin project not only simplifies but also elevates the entire process of waste disposal.
