Garbage Bin Monitoring System Based on the Internet of Things at University Dirgantara Marsekal Suryadarma

Abstract

Garbage is a major problem, because it can harm human health, cause bad odors, and air pollution. With the existence of trash bins, it seems that it doesn't matter because most people prefer to litter, as well as cleaning workers to check the capacity of the trash can who often forget to cause garbage to accumulate so that it can pollute the environment. To solve the waste problem, especially at universities, a smart campus concept was created to solve the problem of waste management. By utilizing GPS technology, Internet of Things, Wi-fi technology that is already available, and other hardware devices such as Arduino microcontrollers, ultrasonic sensors, and others. With this concept, it is hoped that the cleaning staff will arrive on time to transport the garbage according to the information from the existing application, where the information has shown the coordinates of the full trash can so that cleanliness and comfort are maintained.
