![]() ![]() If the level of garbage in any dustbin exceeds a particular threshold (considered 75% here), it is alerted so that the dustbin can be cleaned. Once the amount of garbage in each dustbin is available to the server, the dustbin that requires attention is determined by considering the level of garbage. The microcontroller then processes the data and using the ESP8266 WiFi module, it sends the data to the server. This live data is sent to the microcontroller. Using the simple formula Distance = Speed * Time, the amount of garbage in the dustbin is calculated.Īs trash increases, the distance between the sensor and the dustbin decreases. The circuitry inbuilt on the module calculates the time taken for the ultrasonic wave to come back. This reflected wave is observed by the Ultrasonic receiver module as shown in the picture below. The Ultrasonic transmitter transmits an ultrasonic wave which travels in air and when it strikes any material, it gets reflected back towards the sensor. The module has two eyes like projects in the front which forms the Ultrasonic transmitter and Receiver. The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor is a 4-pin module, whose pin names are Vcc, Trigger, Echo and Ground respectively. Ultrasonic sensors are placed on the interior side of the lid of each dustbin. Each user can enter a dashboard and see the data they need. ![]() The best systems allow waste management teams to access data anytime, anywhere, using a tablet, phone, or laptop. ![]() The Smart Bin uses ultrasonic sensors to monitor the height of garbage in any dustbin. Full Transparency Using ultrasonic beams, smart sensors determine the fullness level of waste containers. Using the power of Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Bin is designed for efficient and smart waste monitoring. Traditional monitoring and disposal of waste is highly inefficient as it requires a lot of time and human effort. A major environmental concern of our society today is proper management and disposal of solid waste, which is crucial to the cleanliness and overall health of our society. ![]()
