Smart Trash Can

Abstract

In the city being over populated, the excess amount of waste produced should be eliminated periodically. These wastes are being laid down, creating unhygienic conditions. Since the people available for these works are very less, the available workers need to be used efficiently. To make efficient use of employees an IOT (Internet of Things) based solution is proposed in the project where it indicates whether the trash can to be emptied in that area. When the trash can is full, an indication from sensor to micro controller is given. A cloud website is used to know the status of the trash can by the people living around. This network of systems works dynamically. Thus, this system puts an end to the overflowing of trash cans. It also reduces unwanted fuel consumption, avoids traffic and prevents diseases. This makes our city smart and clean.
