Smart Waste Bin

Abstract

Smart Waste Bin is an IoT based solution designed to improve waste management efficiency in urban areas. Traditional waste collection methods often result in overflowing bins, leading to environmental and health hazards. To address this, Smart Waste Bin integrates proximity sensors for touchless operation, automatic lighting for better visibility, and ultrasonic or infrared sensors to monitor real-time waste levels. The collected data is transmitted to an IoT platform, which notifies authorities when the bin reaches capacity. By optimizing waste collection routes, this system reduces fuel consumption, lowers operational costs, and supports sustainability, aligning with smart city initiatives.
