Smart Waste Management and Predicting Bins with High Waste Index

Abstract

An exponential growth in the human population poses a major challenge to the method of waste management and thus to the preservation of a healthy environment. Many communities around the world are at risk owing to poor waste disposal. Our initiative seeks to find a solution by using a GSM compatible Smart Dustbin. This uses an ultrasonic sensor to avoid garbage leakage from the dustbin and a gas sensor to identify bad odour and ensure timely disposal of the dustbin's unhygienic material. Therefore, our initiative seeks to prevent overflowing waste from the dustbin and thus to discontinue the unhygienic situation from existing next to it. Also, to develop immediate response to take care of the pollution of the environment and help them with their needs and also predict the dustbin fill age using machine learning algorithm.
