Project Summary

Dustbin is the storage container used for disposing waste by each and every person in the world. The main thing they look in their surroundings for disposing waste is the Dustbin. Smart Dustbin is just a normal bin where everyone can dispose waste but integration of some hardware components is done for more efficient use of it. Smart Dustbin is integrated with some hardware components such as Arduino, NODEMCU, Servo Motor, Ultrasonic sensors. These components help in opening the lid, on detection of human hand and waste and also sending the notification in the form of LED. The code required to perform the above-mentioned operation is dumped in Arduino and NODEMCU.

The proposed method for this smart dustbin is use of Wi-Fi module which is more beneficious than using GSM module. The hardware components used in this method are Arduino UNO, NODEMCU, Ultrasonic sensor, Servo Motor. Now we are going to see each and every hardware component in detail. Arduino UNO: It is a microcontroller board which has fourteen digital input/output pins, six analog inputs, USB connection, power jack, 16MHz quartz crystal, ICSP header, and a reset button. The components such as Servo Motor and Ultrasonic Sensor are connected to this board and the first part code is dumped into this board. After the dumping of the code, the sensors start working according to the code written. When the sensors do not work as expected then the reset button should be pressed so that the code and the microcontroller restart and the sensors start working. This UNO board and 1.0 version of Arduino IDE are the reference versions of Arduino. UNO means one in Italian which denotes the version of the device.

Project Objectives

To provide a smart dustbin that operates automatically to help solve the issue of garbage using IOT and sensor based circuitry.

To provide a smart dustbin that indicates when the dustbin is full, half empty, empty using  LED lights..

To provide a smart dustbin that open itself when  it detects human. The dustbin opens automatically when it receives the signal and closes its hatch.

To provide a dustbin that consists of a smart circuitry that transmits the information (dustbin full or not) over the web to signal the main garbage collector of the facility to empty the particular garbage bin

Project Implementation Method

The proposed method for this smart dustbin is use of Wi-Fi module which is more beneficious than using GSM module. The hardware components used in this method are Arduino UNO, NODEMCU, Ultrasonic sensor, Servo Motor.

The waste is first placed in front of the ultrasonic sensor. The sensor detects the waste and makes the lid of the dustbin to open and the waste is disposed inside the dustbin. This process repeats and goes on like a cycle.

Benefits of the Project

IOT based Dustbins help the people to manage the waste easily and help them reduce the work of calling or waiting for the specific person to make the area clean and makes a heathier environment to live. There won’t be any kind of diseases and the people will be fit and are not prone to diseases caused by these waste materials

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

In this Smart Dustbin project, we have designed a prototype where the lid of the dustbin is opened, on detection of human hand and waste, and the level of waste available inside the dustbin is sent as notification in the form of LED. The main components we used in making this prototype are Arduino, NODEMCU, Servo Motor and Ultrasonic Sensors. The software component is the application named as Blynk which is used to get notification.
