Development of an Automated Smart Waste Collection System Using IoT

This paper presents a cost-effective and intelligent way of collecting waste in Smart Offices and Cities. India faces major environmental challenge associated with waste collection and disposal. Current outdated techniques followed in India cannot cope up with the large volumes of waste generated by an expo-nentially increasing population, and this has a major impact on the environment and public health. Waste management is a primary problem among developing and developed countries. The key issue is that the garbage bins get overflowed much before the next cleaning process. This project proposes a smart alert + clearing system for garbage clearance in Offices / Hospitals and Smart Cities by giving an alert signal to the janitor’s mobile for instant cleaning of dustbin with proper verification based on level of garbage in the bin and also navigating autonomously to the dumping yard. It also monitors the garbage collected from every place and gives us an accurate data which can further be used for analysis and detecting trends/patterns.
