It is observed in past few years that urbanization
increase largely and due to this there is a large increment in
the waste production. Due to this the waste management
becomes a very crucial topic in consideration. In this paper
we introduce the concept of smart dustbin which uses the
microcontroller for its operation. This smart dustbin uses
Arduino microcontroller which is interfaced with ultrasonic
sensor. The ultrasonic sensor is placed inside the dustbin
which measures the status of the dustbin. The
microcontroller Arduino is programmed in such a way that
the empty part of the dustbin is displayed on the screen in
terms of percentage of height. When the dustbin is
completely full the display shows zero percent empty. After
throwing waste people can reuse the dustbin. once the
smart dustbins are implemented on the large scale by
replacing the traditional dustbin. The waste can be
managed properly because it can avoid the unnecessary
lumping of waste on roadside. This smart dustbin can foul
smell from these waste that remain untreated for a long
time, due to negligence of authorities and carelessness of
public may lead to long term problems. if the waste is not
dump on at accurate time it introduce the new problems
such as breed of insects, mosquitoes etc these insects create
nuisance around unhealthy environment. It produces
fearful diseases. This paper deal with Wet and Dry waste
separately.
