AN IOT BASED SMART BIN THAT GIVES REWARDS

Abstract

Healthy and hygienic surroundings are the requirement of the era wherein overflowing rubbish bins have been a major reason of concern for the people living mostly in developing countries. The cleanliness with respect to rubbish management is lowering enormously due to an increase in the level of population. Open and brimming bins will lead to be a breeding home for germs. Generally, only on a number of the specific days of the week municipal corporations’ function on weekly means to pick up trash, irrespective of whether the bins are complete or not. There has been an accelerated growth in the field of technology, and these changes leads to changes in the lifestyle of human beings and which further leads to automation in many tasks. One of the foremost contributors of this automation is the Internet of Things, also referred to as IoT. This concept is primarily built on the joint working of cloud server and the IoT. Sensors inserted beneath the lid of the trash bins calculate the distance among the lid of the bin and the rubbish level. The usage of this information while the trash level reaches 85% of the entire capacity, a message from the trash bins will be dispatched to the servers alerting them that the trash bin is filled. Thus, the municipal corporations can send trash collecting vehicle to only to the areas wherein the trash bins are filled, thus saving time in addition to fuel because of enhanced way for rubbish collection rather than traveling to entire blocks to examine each and every trash bin individually. This technology may be implemented into the prevailing trash bins and there is no need to install new trash bins for this purpose and this will carry down the capital investment. Ultimately the cost-effective gadgets like this will be productive in the long run.
