        abstract = {This research paper explores the designing and implementation of a waste level monitoring system for a dustbin using NodeMCU and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, along with an ultrasound sensor. 
This study aims to develop a low-cost, accurate, and efficient system for the management of waste levels in dustbins, which can help improve waste collection services and reduce unnecessary transportation costs. 
 The proposed system consists of an ultrasonic sensor that is mounted inside the dustbin to detect the level of waste, a NodeMCU module that connects with the sensor and sends the data to the cloud, and an IoT platform that stores and analyzes the data. The data can be accessed by waste management authorities, who can use it to optimize their waste collection routes and schedules. Overall, the research demonstrates the potential of using NodeMCU and IoT technology in waste management systems, and how it can help address the challenges faced by waste management authorities in managing waste collection services. The proposed system has the potential to reduce costs, improve efficiency and promote sustainable waste management practices.},
