Abstract

In the life of a growing advanced technology, numerous efforts and initiatives were carried out by the municipal solid waste management in addressing issues of waste overflowing around the bins and other problems related to waste such as extreme odor pollution and overloaded bins, causing the bins should be changed immediately. Among the already existing system that were practiced by the municipal authorities in Malaysia was using type of trash bin that can compress the waste, this allows the capacity of the waste to be loaded into the trash increases. Ironically, the bin system only can solve the problem with overflowing waste, but the other factor such as the garbage truck collector that does not follow the schedule collection and causes the waste bin to overflow or disposed outside the existing trash bin cannot be monitor by authority. Therefore, the main objective of this project is to assist the waste management in monitoring the activities or the current state of waste bin to avoid the problem stated. PIR Motion sensor was used to detect the movement of people when opening the lid of trash bin to throw the rubbish. In this research, the data of waste materials that were chosen to be controlled and regulated was through the reading of the level of waste in the bin. The components used to read the level of waste in the trash bin was Ultrasonic sensor. ESP8266 Wi-Fi module was used as a medium to get internet access and allows data to be sent to the database. Next, MySQL database was used, where the data from the sensors was sent into the database only when there was motion detected by sensor. Data from the database was then controlled and regulated by a web host to display data activities required by the waste management such as the activities during monthly activities of waste collection or the current activities of garbage collector. In this way, waste management can analyze and optimize the frequency of waste collection in a certain places and also can reduce operating costs.
