Project Summary

Nowadays, there are tons of flats and apartments which have been built in the rapid urbanization area. This is due to high housing demands which have been drastically risen as a result of migration from villages to cities to find work. In order to accommodate the growing population in the urban area, the government has also constructed more apartment complexes. There are several issues faced by the residents of the flats. One of them is disposal of solid waste. Unlike private houses, the residents of all the apartments use a common dustbin, which tends to fill up very quickly. This overflowing of garbage is a sanitary issue which might cause diseases like cholera and dengue. Moreover it is a waste of fuel to travel around a complex or an area to find that some of the garbage are filled and some are not. Also, on rare days, problems might arise that there is so much garbage that the truck doesn’t have enough capacity. The idea struck us when we observed that the garbage truck use to go around the town to collect solid waste twice a day. Although this system was thorough it was very inefficient.

Project Objectives

We are living in an age where tasks and systems are fusing together with the power of IOT to have a more efficient system of working and to execute jobs quickly! With all the power at our finger tips this is what we have come up with.The Internet of Things (IoT) shall be able to incorporate transparently and seamlessly a large number of different systems, while providing data for millions of people to use and capitalize. Building a general architecture for the IoT is hence a very complex task, mainly because of the extremely large variety of devices, link layer technologies, and services that may be involved in such a system

Project Implementation Method

We will need the following hardware to accomplish our project. 1. HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor.

2. Arduino Uno.

3. GSM module

4. Connecting wires

Benefits of the Project

Very simple circuit.

? The HCSR04 sensor is very rugged.

? Helps monitor garbage levels.

? Uses very small amount of electricity.

? Ultimately helps in better planning of garbage pickups.

? Can help in reducing overflowing bins.

? Reduces trips to areas where the bins still have a lot of capacity

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The ultrasonic sensor should give proper output. To check whether the output is accurate or not, the output of the sensor will be checked against a meter tape. ? The arduino board should show the distance in the serial monitor. So should the NodeMCU. ? The GSM module should send messages after the specified delay. If the text messages are reaching the phone, that means the GSM module is working. It should make a small ringing sound, when it sends messages. ? The DHT11 sensor should work properly and show its output in the serial monitor.
