Smart Garbage Monitoring System using Node MCU

In metro cities maintain the garbage collection in difficult process. Sometimes garbage tanks tank be filled in two days or sometimes it tank filled in 5 days also. Concern municipality person will come on routine time only to collect that garbage tank. So if it filled they will take it otherwise in next routine only. Between that time period if it is filled means it will create some pollution to the surrounding area. According to the smart cities concept of the government this project eliminate the current problem by replacing normal garbage tank by a smart garbage system. By using this system we tank update authority to their website at what time the garbage tank is filled.

The population in developing metropolitan city increases day-by-day. Solid waste management is one of the major concerns of the modern world. Monitoring of waste bins manually in metropolitan areas and cities every day is not an easy one. The amount of garbage differs in different areas and manual monitoring causes more human effort and cost. Non-disposal of wastes at the right time affects human health and the environment.

Here we are using ultrasonic sensors which are fixed over the dustbins. When waste is filled in the bins the distance will be decreased between the waste and sensors. Every time it will check the level and calculates the distance. Data will process the data and send to the cloud server through NodeMCU. Through this webpage the user can access the data and plan according to that; which bin needs attention and certain action will be taken to clean the bins.
