CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.0 Project Background
Waste management is a major issue that the world faces, regardless of whether
the country is produced or developing. The main factors responsible for this issue
are urbanization and population growth. Population growth, increased food demand,
and a variety of other factors are all influencing the environment in iot technology.
With the current increase in population, waste or garbage management is a very
stressful job to do. Every local house, industry, and factory continues to generate
some amount of rubbish on a daily basis as a member of society. This waste is
eventually collected in rubbish bins, collected by garbage pickup vehicles, and
moved to waste disposal. Monitoring and disposing of waste is critical these days for
keeping the environment green and clean. Improper disposal and monitoring of
collected trash in rubbish bins can endanger human lives. Smart rubbish bins in
residential areas are being designed to address the waste management issue.
We often see that public rubbish bins are always full and if concerned people do
not receive information in a timely manner, it can lead to an unpleasant situation. At
the same time, a foul odor pervaded the surrounding area. Environmental damage
and a variety of dangerous diseases are common in the area, which is easily spread.
Furthermore, due to Covid-19 disease many people feel traumatized to touch any
surfaces that have been touched by many people such as trash can lid. This is due
to the covid-19 that can be spread by touch.

CHAPTER 2 IOT SYSTEM JUSTIFICATION
2.0 System Definition and Boundary
This project's ultrasonic sensors are used to determine whether or not the rubbish
bin is full of garbage. When the distance calculated by the ultrasonic sensors is less
than the threshold value programmed in the microcontroller, the trash bin is filled.
The governmental organization is notified via WiFi modem (IoT) by showing the
message "Rubbish Bin Is Already Full" on the server and the buzzer will make a
noise. Otherwise, if there is still a lot of empty space in the rubbish bin, the sensor
will keep silent and it will display “Rubbish Bin Is Not Full” on the server. . To prevent
false activation of the message to the municipal government, three sensors have also
been added into the system. Other than that, there is an LED on the rubbish bin to
determine whether the rubbish bin is full or not. If the rubbish bin is full, the LED will
light up red and the trash can lid won't open, if it is still empty it will stay green.
