  • Gopala Krishna K

Abstract

Today there is need to tackle the increasing problem for the disposal of the waste material generated from the different industries and the home usage waste. The waste generated from the different households or the industries or the persons travelling on the roads is either biodegradable or non-biodegradable which need to segregate for the disposal of the waste material. But he people are not generally able to determine the kind of the waste due to which there arises a need for the automatic segregation of the waste material and its disposal in the same way as it should for that particular kind of material. In this research paper the concept of smart dustbin has been proposed which not only help to segregate the particular kind of waste with the help of infrared sensor but also help to weigh the waste material stored and the remaining capacity or tell the status of the capacity of the dustbin. Upon filling the dustbin send the message to the municipal authorities to clear the dustbin and install the new one or the same dustbin. This dustbin also provides the free internet facility for the garbage thrower. These smart dustbins can be used in the public places, industrial areas, and where ever they are required.
