Abstract: Many times, in our city we see that the garbage bins or dustbins placed at public places

are overloaded. It creates unhygienic conditions for people as well as ugliness to that place leaving

bad smell. To avoid all such situations we are going to implement a project called Waste

management system using IOT. These dustbins are interfaced with arduino based system having

Ultrasonic wireless systems along with central system showing level and current status of garbage,

on web browser with html page by Wi-Fi. Hence the status will be updated on to the web page.

Major part of our project depends upon the working of the Wi-Fi module; essential for its

implementation. The main aim of this project is to reduce human resources and efforts along with the

enhancement of a smart city vision.

Keywords : Internet of things, Wi-Fi module, Arduino Mega, Ultrasonic sensor ,Web browser,

I. INTRODUCTION

Internet and its applications have become an integral part of today’s human lifestyle. It has become

an essential tool in every aspect. Due to the tremendous demand and necessity, researchers went

beyond connecting just computers into the web. These researches led to the birth of a sensational

gizmo, Internet of Things (IoT). Communication over the internet has grown from user - user

interaction to device – device interactions these days. The IoT concepts were proposed years back

but still it’s in the initial stage of commercial deployment. Home automation industry and

transportation industries are seeing rapid growth with IoT. Yet not many articles have been published

in this field of study. This paper aims in structuring a state of the art review on IoT. The technology,

history and applications have been discussed briefly along with various statistics.

Since most of the process is done through the internet we must have an active high speed

internet connection. The technology can be simply explained as a connection between humans-

computers-things. All the equipment’s we use in our day to day life can be controlled and monitored

using the IoT. A majority of process is done with the help of sensors in IoT. Sensors are deployed

everywhere and these sensors convert raw physical data into digital signals and transmits them to its

control centre. By this way we can monitor environment changes remotely from any part of the

world via internet. This systems architecture would be based on context of operations and processes

in real-time scenarios.

Smart collection bin works in the similar manner with the combination of sensors namely weight

sensor and IR sensor that indicates its weight and different levels respectively. The IR sensors will

show us the various levels of garbage in the dustbins and also the weight sensor gets activated to

send its output ahead when its threshold level is crossed. This details are further given of the

microcontroller (ARM LPC2148) and the controller gives the details to the transmitter module (Wi-

Fi module). At the receiver section a mobile handset is needed to be connected to the Wi-Fi router so

the details of the garbage bin is displayed onto the HTML page in web browser of our mobile

handset.

II. LITERATURE SURVEY

This is not an original idea, for the implementation of smart garbage bin; the idea has existed for

many years, After the IoT field finding its grip in our lives. This is, however an original plan for

designing a smart garbage bin with weight sensor, IR sensor and Wi-Fi module for transmission of

data.

III. PROPOSED ARCHITECTURE

Considering the need of modern technology, the smart garbage bin can expensive but considering

the amount of dustbin needed in India, expensive garbage bin would not be a prior experiment that is

why we have decided to use waste management system using IOT in order to reduce its cost and

make it efficient in applications.

System Architecture -

WI-FI MODULE:

802.11b/g/n protocol, Wi-Fi Direct (P2P), soft-AP, Integrated TCP/IP protocol stack. Wi-Fi Module

helps us to send the details of the dustbin at the receiver side.

ARDUINO:

Arduino is an open-source project that created microcontroller-based kits for building digital devices

and interactive objects that can sense and control physical devices.

ULTRASONIC SENSORS:

Ultrasonic transducers are transducers that convert ultrasound waves to electrical signals or vice

versa. Those that both transmit and receive may also be called ultrasound transceivers;

many ultrasound sensors besides being sensors are indeed transceivers because they can both sense

and transmit.

B. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

1.Arduino:- Arduino board consists of an Atmel 8-, 16- or 32-bit AVR microcontroller (although

since 2015 other makers' microcontrollers have been used) with complementary components that

facilitate programming and incorporation into other circuits. An important aspect of the Arduino is

its standard connectors, which let users connect the CPU board to a variety of interchangeable add-

on modules termed shields. Some shields communicate with the Arduino board directly over various

pins, but many shields are individually addressable via an I²C serial bus—so many shields can be

stacked and used in parallel.

2.Wifi module:- . "Wi-Fi" is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance. The "Wi-Fi Certified" trademark

can only be used by Wi-Fi products that successfully complete Wi-Fi

Alliance interoperability certification testing.Devices that can use Wi-Fi technology include personal

computers, video-game consoles, smartphones, digital cameras, tablet computers, digital audio

players and modern printers. Wi-Fi compatible devices can connect to the Internet via a WLAN

network and a wireless access point. Such an access point (or hotspot) has a range of about 20 meters

(66 feet) indoors and a greater range outdoors

3.Ultrasonic Sensor:- An ultrasonic transducer is a device that converts AC into ultrasound, as well

as the reverse, sound into AC. In ultrasonics, the term typically refers to piezoelectric

transducers or capacitive transducers. Piezoelectric crystals change size and shape when a voltage is

applied; AC voltage makes them oscillate at the same frequency and produce ultrasonic sound.

Capacitive transducers use electrostatic fields between a conductive diaphragm and a backing plate.

C. Element in system

1.Arduino:- Arduino is an open-source project that created microcontroller-based kits for building

digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control physical devices. The project is

based on microcontroller board designs, produced by several vendors, using various microcontrollers.

These systems provide sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that can interface to various

expansion boards (termed shields) and other circuits.

2.Wifi module: The Wi-Fi Alliance defines Wi-Fi as any "wireless local area network" (WLAN)

product based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards. "Wi-

Fi" is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance. The "Wi-Fi Certified" trademark can only be used by Wi-Fi

products that successfully complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification testing.

3. Ultrasonic Sensor:- Ultrasonic transducers are transducers that convert ultrasound waves

to electrical signals or vice versa. Those that both transmit and receive may also be called ultrasound

transceivers; many ultrasound sensors besides being sensors are indeed transceivers because they can

both sense and transmit. These devices work on a principle similar to that of transducers used

in radar and sonar systems, which evaluate attributes of a target by interpreting the echoes from radio

or sound waves, respectively. Active ultrasonic sensors generate high-frequency sound waves and

evaluate the echo which is received back by the sensor, measuring the time interval between sending

the signal and receiving the echo to determine the distance to an object.

VI. CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORK

In this project, an integrated system of Wi-Fi modem, IoT, Ultrasonic Sensor is introduced for

efficient and economic garbage collection. The developed system provides improved database for

garbage collection time and waste amount at each location. By implementing this project we will

avoid over flowing of garbage from the container in residential area which is previously either

loaded manually or with the help of loaders in traditional trucks. It can automatically monitor the

garbage level & send the information to collection truck. The technologies which are used in the

proposed system are good enough to ensure the practical and perfect for solid garbage collection

process monitoring and management for green environment.
