Abstract

This paper introduces a smart approach to waste management through the integration of smart technologies. Our proposed system employs the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module to enable remote notification, ensuring efficient waste monitoring both indoors and outdoors. The core components include an Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04 for real-time monitoring of the waste bin's fill level, an IR sensor to facilitate automated lid opening upon user proximity, and a servo motor to control the lid mechanism. Upon detection of fullness of the waste bin, the system triggers a buzzer, providing an audible alert for the user and encouraging the user timely waste disposal. The innovation aimed for a more cost effective and economically beneficial system. The innovation extends beyond conventional waste monitoring because we are not only implementing it indoors but also outdoors to monitor waste disposal which will maintain a clean environment overall. The paper outlines the implementation of a client-server model, emphasizing its potential to foster a pollution-free society, good health, and a cleaner environment.
