IoT based waste management using Microcontroller

Authors(5) :-Bindushree M, Chaithra K M, H P Spoorthi, Keerthana A, Vagdevi S

Digital technology is evolving continuously for the past two decades and its impact on our lives is getting stronger and stronger. With the advent of smart phones, one can access every corner of the world with the fingertips. Over 46% of the global population is connected to the internet and this number is estimated to rise to 70% by the end of 2017. With rapidly growing technology, scientists and visionaries across the globe envision a world made simpler with the use of the internet, thus giving birth to the concept of smart waste management. Internet of Things is the upcoming era where all the things we use in our everyday life are connected to the internet. Smart TVs, Air Conditioners, Refrigerators and inventories have already stepped into the market. Today time has come where even waste from industries and houses are being managed by smart phones and internet in home. Our project tries to contribute to waste management and the Internet of Things. In this project, we intend to employ the concept of waste management with the use of internet. The use of sensors that detect the prevailing conditions inside the dust collectors. All these sensors are connected to Arduino Yun which continuously processes the output of each sensor in the program written through Google Application program interface (API)s. This is used as feedback to control the waste collector. This project aims at making life simpler. The same concept can also be used for garbage system. It can also be used for generation of power to an extent from domestic waste and can also contribute to smart city technologies.
