Smart bin for Clean Cities using IOT

Different attempts have been made so far all over the world for a cleaner and greener environment. Waste management is the need of an hour. To make the country a better place to live in, it should be made smarter. To view the locality a litter free zone, the Smart bin for clean cities using Internet of Things (IOT) has to be implemented. The main purpose for adapting this technology is to conserve the environment without exhausting the time, energy, wealth, etc. In this work with the help of sensors the bin level, presence of gas and humidity in the bin are monitored. The status of the bin is updated in the cloud, and it is indicated to the authorities and to the garbage collectors using developed IoT based app. This will minimize the working hours and save money. A compressor is attached to compress the garbage inside the bin. Through image recognition the bin is opened and closed automatically to avoid the touching of bin which is necessary in this covid-19 situation. This smart idea not only conserves the environment but also helps to sustain the natural resources by limiting the collection of garbage on daily basis in order to reduce the fuel consumption which is the biggest crisis in the present scenario.
