Abstract
Most Indian cities find it tough to manage waste. Officials in Indian cities have been under increasing pressure to manage waste as populations surge. A significant portion of the garbage such as those collected from streets to open plots come from dumping waste without using designated dustbins when residents throw away garbage. This poses a serious health risk and is a threat to urban sanitation. In our work, we have proposed an IoT based smart dustbin system that can control city cleanliness and waste operation in a smarter way. The real-time waste collection system utilizes sensors to detect waste in real time and transmits the data to a central control unit directly through wireless communication, which reduces operation-related costs for collecting waste. Load cells and RFID readers are integrated in the rubbish bin for waste weight measurement. RFID-tagged receptacles are unlocked by users and they earn reward points for proper disposal of waste, encouraging responsible recycling. This would work wonders in not only dump management, but also an infinite number of diseases that are connected with dumped dirt on roads.
