Solar powered solid waste management system using IoT

Abstract

The amount of waste has been increasing due to the increase in human population and urbanization. In cities, the overflowed bin creates an unhygienic environment. Thus degrades the environment, to overcome this situation, “Solar Powered Solid Waste Management System Using IoT” is developed. The system is powered by solar energy and separates the waste into three categories namely wet, dry and metallic. Each of the wastes are detected by the respective sensors and gets segregated to respective bins. IoT is used to continuous monitor the dustbin in order to check whether the dustbin is full or not. The present work updates the real time data using IoT and the same can be conveyed to concerned administrators and can fetch the information using Android Application.
