Abstract

This project is to design a IoT (Internet of Things)based ‘Smart Garbage Monitoring System’.The main contribution of this work is the monitoring the level of the garbage inside the dustbin by using a mobile phone and using the Blynk apps.The problem that the cleaner face today is that they need to check all the dustbin whether the dustbin is full or not.Therefore,by doing that will increase the time taken to clean the garbage and to check all the dustbin.The main objective of this smart dustbin is to monitor the garbage level inside the dustbin. This dustbin also can notify the cleaner when the dustbin is full.The output that display to the user through the LCD display is the status of the garbage.This smart dustbin used the ultrasonic sensor as the main sensor to detect the distance of the garbage inside the dustbin.The LCD display are used to show the status of the garbage.At the same time the ESP8266 are used to act as the WiFi module to send the information to the smartphone.Lastly the Blynk apps are used to get the information from the dustbin and to notifying the cleaner about the dustbin garbage.The microcontroller Arduino Uno are used as the brain of this project.For the result,the Blynk will send the notification to the smartphone and the LCD display will show the status of the garbage inside the dustbin. In this result,it contains three types of reading there are 0%, 50% and 100%. For the 0% result the garbage distance must greater than 10cm from the ultrasonic sensor.For 50 % result the garbage distance must greater than or equal to 5cm but less than 10cm from the ultrasonic sensor.Lastly for 100% result the garbage distance must less than 5cm from the ultrasonic sensor.
