Revolutionizing Waste Management in Developing Cities A Cutting-Edge Novel Optimization Approach to IoT

Abstract

People throw waste everywhere without thinking of the consequences in today's world, which can result in harmful illnesses. Consequently, one of the main problems in developing cities is waste management. The main issue with waste management is that trash cans at public locations are frequently overfilled well before the next cleaning process begins. It attracts various dangers, such as foul odours and offensiveness to that location, which may be the primary cause of the spread of various diseases. Therefore, with the aid of an Arduino UNO microcontroller, a novel Internet of Things-based smart dustbin is developed in this paper. The primary focus of this paper is to monitor the dustbin filling status and whether it is filled or not. The procedure is assisted by the two ultrasonic sensors which are adapted with Arduino UNO to monitor whether the person is nearer to the smart dustbin or not and send the notification to the municipal systems. Moreover, the newly designed smart dustbin can be used for a Waste Management System where the municipal comities can empty and clean the smart dustbin, which is based on the message notification. Additionally, the African Buffalo Optimization algorithm is implemented to invert the innovative model. Message notifications are obtained through the PYTHON application, which serves as the software platform.
