Smart Garbage Monitoring and Alert System Using IoT

Abstract

With the overcrowding of cities, the clearance of garbage has become the most challenging task for civic bodies. Thus, a well-planned garbage monitoring system is essential to keep the environment clean. Keeping in mind the above scenario, this paper proposes a smart garbage monitoring and alert system using the concept based on the Internet of Things (IoT) to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in any locality. The system, proposed here can monitor the solid or liquid waste level in garbage bin through sensors attached to it. An Android application is also developed for accessing information such as coordinates, temperature, humidity, and methane gas value of the bin. Through monitoring of these values, the clearance of garbage can be done on a need basis. As the proposed system, is an internet-based system, Wi-Fi connection is essential for its implementation. The developed system uses IFTTT protocol to send notification in a time-efficient fashion.
