        abstract = {Efficient waste management is becoming more difficult due to the swift increase in urbanization and population. This system suggests a novel remedy in response: a smart garbage detection system based on the Internet of Things (IoT). By using sophisticated data analytics and real-time monitoring, the main goal is to sensing the fill level of the garbage in the dustbin, foul smell detection, waste segregation and provide cashback.[1]. Our system employs various sensors such as IR sensor,Inductive Proximity sensor,Dispersed water sensor module,odour sensor and weight sensor.First three sensor detect plastic,metal and wet waste,after detection the waste will be segregated to apt bin.We have servomotor for opening and closing the lid of the bin and stepper motor for rotating the three bins.When waste enter into the bin,the Inductive Proximity sensor hold the waste in 2,3 seconds for sensors being detecting the type of waste and weight sensor measure weight of the waste.Then send signal to servomotor and stepper motor,they can assist to dispose the waste in appropriate dustbin.And also have mechanism for sending alert using GSM module ,when dustbin fills upto 50%.Odour sensor is used for detecting foul smell.Get cashback based on the item(weight of the item in grams * price).},
