Disadvantages of the existing system
Consumes time and less effective: trucks go and empty
containers even if they are filled or not.
High implementation costs.
Unhygienic bins will affect the look of the city.
Foul smell and toxic chemicals cause adverse effects on
living beings.
Waste collection vehicles are nuisance causing noise and
traffic.
Plastic waste is not being managed properly
Software
The software used to program NodeMCU is Arduino IDE.

IV. PROPOSED WORK
There are effective waste management systems that consist
of smart alert system for waste clearance by giving an alert
to the municipality for fast removal of garbage in waste bin
based on the information about the level of garbage filling.
Here we propose a project that makes use of sensors and
controllers that manage the waste in a locality and also
segregate the waste by the user with the help of a mobile
application.
Hardware
A. NodeMCU
NodeMCU includes firmware that runs on the ESP8266 Wi-Fi Fig: Flow Chart of waste level detection
SoC, which is an open source IoT platform and hardware
which is based on the ESP-12 module. The waste level is
detected and this level is transferred to the mobile
application by using this controller.
B. Ultrasonic Sensor
The ultrasonic sensor transmits sound waves and if an object
is present this wave is reflected back as echo which is
received by the sensor present in the module, the distance
can be calculated by measuring the travel time and the speed
of sound. With all the received information the ultrasonic
sensor detects the waste level to check whether the bin is full
or not.
C. Servo Motor
The servo can rotate 90 degrees in each direction and
therefore it can rotate 180 degrees in total. We can use any
servo code, hardware or library to control the servos. When
the user selects which type of waste he is dumping then the
corresponding bin will automatically open up with the aid of
a servo motor. Fig: Flow Chart of automatic lid opening

It involves identifying and classifying plant species, diseases, or other relevant plant characteristics using various techniques, such as image processing, machine learning, and remote sensing. Advances in computer vision and artificial intelligence have enabled the development of robust plant detection systems capable of analyzing vast amounts of data in real time. These systems can be employed for applications such as precision agriculture, where acc9 pages
