Automation of Smart waste management using IoT to support “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” - a practical approach

Abstract

“Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan” is a national campaign initiated by the Government of India, which covers 4,041 cities and towns, to clean the streets, roads and infrastructure of the country. The main motto of the mission is to cover all the rural and urban areas of the country. With proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as Smartphone & sensors, this paper describes the effective dry and wet dirt collection using Embedded System. The main motto of the application is collection of dry and wet waste separately which is placed in a conveyor belt on which the dry waste collected dust bins are placed left side and wet waste collected bins on right side. The system will get the input through the dust collecting person through switches and sends signal to the Micro controller unit using RF technology and that makes the H-bridge to rotate conveyor belt. When the belt starts rotating clockwise the dust bin's lid is automatically closed, simultaneously the waste is dumped into the underground garbage container placed at the ground floor. Here IoT module is used to control and monitor the waste and the information will be sent to the particular organization and the common man. The mobile app shows the collection of waste and the particular date and arrival time of the vehicle.
