INTRODUCTION
A smart bin is a waste collection system that uses sensors and other technologies to improve
efficiency and reduce waste. Smart bins can be equipped with sensors that detect the weight
of waste, the type of waste, and the level of fullness. This information can be used to manage
waste collection routes, optimize waste collection schedules, and reduce the amount of waste
that is sent to landfills.

Here are some of the benefits of using smart bins:

• Improved efficiency: Smart bins can help to improve the efficiency of waste collection by
reducing the number of trips that need to be made to collect waste. This can save time
and money for municipalities and businesses.
• Reduced waste: Smart bins can help to reduce the amount of waste that is sent to
landfills by encouraging people to recycle and compost more. This can have a positive
impact on the environment.
• Enhanced data collection: Smart bins can collect valuable data about waste generation
patterns, which can be used to inform waste management decisions. This can help to
improve the overall efficiency of waste management systems.

BUILDING THE DEVICE
1. Firstly we write the program on which our device will work .

#include //servo library

Servo servo;
int trigPin = 5;
int echoPin = 6;
int servoPin = 7;
int led= 10;
long duration, dist, average;
long aver[3]; //array for average

void setup() {
 Serial.begin(9600);
servo.attach(servoPin);
pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);
servo.write(0); //close cap on power on
delay(100);
servo.detach();
}

void measure() {
digitalWrite(10,HIGH);
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(5);
digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(15);
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);
duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
dist = (duration/2) / 29.1; //obtain distance
}
void loop() {
for (int i=0;i<=2;i++) { //average distance
measure();
aver[i]=dist;
delay(10); //delay between measurements
}
dist=(aver[0]+aver[1]+aver[2])/3;

if ( dist<50 ) {
//Change distance as per your need
servo.attach(servoPin);
delay(1);
servo.write(0);
delay(3000);
servo.write(150);
delay(1000);
servo.detach();
}
Serial.print(dist);
}
1. Then we connected the
ultrasonic sensor with the arduino
with the help of a jumper wire and
upload the final code.

2. Now we connect the servo motor

with help of jumper wires to
Arduino.

3. We used a 9v battery which

provides power supply to all the
components.

4. After making all the connection

we cross check again all
connections are perfectly held.
 APPLICATIONS OF SMART BIN:
• Improved efficiency: Smart bins can help to improve the efficiency of waste
collection by reducing the number of trips that need to be made to collect waste.
This can save time and money for municipalities and businesses.
• Reduced waste: Smart bins can help to reduce the amount of waste that is sent to
landfills by encouraging people to recycle and compost more. This can have a
positive impact on the environment.
• Enhanced data collection: Smart bins can collect valuable data about waste
generation patterns, which can be used to inform waste management decisions.
This can help to improve the overall efficiency of waste management systems.

Here are some examples of how smart bins are being used:

• In cities, smart bins are being used to collect waste from public areas such as parks,
streets, and sidewalks. This can help to keep public spaces clean and free of litter.
• In businesses, smart bins are being used to collect waste from offices, restaurants,
and other businesses. This can help to reduce the amount of waste that is sent to
landfills.
• In homes, smart bins are being used to collect compost and recycling from
households. This can help to reduce the amount of waste that is sent to landfills and
improve the sustainability of households.
• CONCLUSION:
Smart bins have the potential to revolutionize waste management by making it more efficient,
sustainable, and data-driven. By using sensors and other technologies, these bins can collect
real-time data about waste levels and types, which can be used to optimize collection routes,
reduce waste, and inform waste management decisions. Smart bins are already being used in
cities, businesses, and homes, and their adoption is likely to increase in the years to come.
