  • Abstract:
  • Smart bin technology is revolutionizing waste management by helping municipalities optimize waste collection and minimize unnecessary stops at empty dumpsters, thereby saving both time and energy. Traditional waste collection routes are often inefficient, but smart bins address this issue using wireless ultrasonic sensors that monitor fill levels in real time. In this study, a smart bin has been designed with multiple advanced features, with its primary function being automated garbage segregation. Additionally, it includes ultrasonic sensors that detect when a person approaches, allowing the bin’s lid to open automatically for a hands-free, more hygienic disposal experience. The system also provides analytical insights, informing users about the quantity and type of waste they dispose of. Moreover, a mobile app connected to the bin sends reminders to users when it is time to take out the garbage. By enabling proper waste segregation, the smart bin helps distinguish between recyclable and non-recyclable waste, promoting efficient waste management. The bin is integrated with smart components like sensors and an Arduino system, ensuring seamless operation. The lid automatically opens when an object is detected nearby and closes after a predetermined time, making waste disposal effortless and sanitary.
