Efficient Waste Collection and Filtration using IOT

In our modern times, waste management in our society plays a significant role to develop our city into a smart city. We are residing in a world that is in a constant state of amelioration, but there is one obnoxious problem that we have not been able to deal with which is hindering our advancement to a hygienic, clean and healthy society, i.e. garbage. Mostly in our day-to-day life, we often encounter excessively full dustbins. This paper provides an effective model of a smart dustbin. The dustbin will have sensors to detect how full the dustbin is; when it exceeds the set limit a notification will be sent to the authorized personnel to collect the waste. It will also have a sensor that will open the lid of the dustbin when a person comes to the proximity of the dustbin to use it; if the dustbin is not full. It will also have 4 different sensors to differentiate the waste into four types Paper, Plastic, Metals, and Organic Waste, and a servo motor to rotate the compartments respectively.
