With a population of over seven billion which generates waste of more than two billion metric tons a year, waste management is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. All this waste needs to be managed so that there will not be an overflow at the waste disposal bins in a locality as that might lead to deadly diseases and pollution. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we propose a way to collect the waste automatically using a line follower robot and dump it in the dumping ground. The proposed system uses an Arduino Yun which is installed on top of the line follower and a NodeMCU, which is installed at the garbage disposal sites for communication and collection of garbage. Both these components communicate over the “ThingSpeak” Cloud. These bins continuously send the percentage of waste that is in the bin. When the percentage reaches a certain threshold, the line follower goes to the site and collects the garbage and dumps it at a nearby dumping yard.
