IoT Based Smart Garbage Collection Using RFID Andsensors

Abstract Most of the places in India suffer from poor garbage disposal. In Indian cities due to the growth of population garbage disposal has become a challenging task for the municipality authority. Trashes are spread over the roads and vacant land in most of the places. This is due to disposal of garbage on the road instead of garbage bins. People are not able to dispose the garbage in garbage bin due to garbage overflow and not disposing the garbage frequently. If a city is aiming for smart city then it has to maintain the hygienic condition of the city, if garbage is not disposed properly then it becomes a crucial health issues since maintaining hygiene becomes a challenging task. So to overcome this and to maintain the garbage system the dust bins are attached with sensors and the data collected through the sensors are sent to the corporation office control room. This is enabled used a wireless communication technology. The level of the garbage is supervised using an Graphical user Interface which is integrated with the Android application. The dust bin location is traced with a help of GPS enabled in the garbage bin. The location of dustbin information is also tracked using the GPS system integrated with the garbage bin. If these devices are integrated then it will enable to reduced the overall time in tracking and disposing the dustbin on time, thus the dustbin in regularly monitored. The bin is attached with RFID reader, load cell, gas sensors, and humidity sensors. The bin is operated based on the RFID reader and sensors which opens the bin according to the dry and wet waste. The RFID tag is given to the public. The public needs to display the RFID tag to throw the trash in to the dustbin. The person who is throwing the maximum number of garbage is rewarded with points. The weight of the garbage thrown by the user is calculated by the load cell placed in the dustbin. By this way we can avoid the public throwing the garbage on streets. The humidity sensor is placed to separate the wet and dry waste. Thus it helps in the disposal of the garbage and avoid in spreading of diseases due to the trashes spread across the streets.
