Sensors Based Trash Can Using IOT

Abstract

The main theme of our project is to develop a sensor based dustbin for a proper garbage management. This project depicts a worthy elucidation for maintaining green environment. The disposal of waste can be done efficiently by segregating between dry waste and wet waste. This system reduces the maintenance stress. A smart handling technology is used to avoid all such hazardous scenario and maintain cleanliness. The whole process is upheld by an embedded system integrated with microcontroller and sensors. The dustbin lid will automatically open when something is sensed within its boundary or limit. This project works on the basis of colour sensor. The sensor distinguishes the colour for efficient disposal of garbage. Thus the system is solution for environmental maintenance and reduces the work of human intervention in garbage maintenance.
