IoT BASED WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

The Collection of waste is a very much needed municipal service that requires huge expenditures and execution
of this operation is high-priced. The high pricing is due to the various factors such as man power, navigation of
vehicles, fuel, maintenances and environmental costs. The above factor necessitates the design, implementation
and execution of the intelligent smart bin for proper management of waste. Our focused on the implementation
of an IoT based embedded system which integrates with Wi-Fi module, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID),
Node MCU, Arduino controller and weight Sensor and ultrasonic sensor and pressing mechanism for solid
waste bin and truck monitoring system with their performance measured in real time environment. Web based
android applications were developed to interface with a web server to intimate the municipality regarding the
cleaning process performed by the workers. This system provides a database of the information of bin status,
amount of waste in the bin, time of the collection of waste are transmitted to monitor and efficiently manage the
waste collection strategies. This data was processed by graph theory optimization algorithms to find the shortest
path for the purpose of reaching the bin to reduce the cost
