        abstract = {In this rapid growing population and urbanization condition, the production or generation of waste after domestic or commercial use is also increasing. Thereby a proper Waste Disposal method is necessary for the reduction of waste causing pollution and negative impact to the sustainable environment. This paper proposes an idea of disposing the waste effectively using a smart dustbin. The dustbin mainly consists of sensors which detects the level of waste collected when it reaches a specific threshold (80%-90%) and gives a notification the concerned cleaning authorities. Also, the proposed project includes a waste segregation method that separates and divides the waste into degradable and non-degradable which helps the authorities for the proper disposal of waste. The bin consists of sensors for sensing the level of waste collected, GPS for get to know about the location of the dustbin, microcontrollers for segregating the waste. This project helps the authorities for the proper disposal of waste, efficient use of resources and fuels required and avoiding regular checking of the threshold limit of the waste.},
