DEFENSE SCRIPT

INTRODUCTION: Good [morning/afternoon/evening], esteemed panel and honorable guests. Today, I


am thrilled to present our innovative project on self-operating trash bins, designed to revolutionize
waste management in schools and communities. Our solution incorporates advanced technology,
including sensors, motors, and connectivity features, with the ultimate goal of encouraging responsible
waste disposal.

SELF-OPERATING TRASH BIN TECHNOLOGY: Our self-operating trash bins utilize a combination of
ultrasonic distance sensors, PIR sensors, and a servo motor, all controlled by the versatile Arduino Uno
microcontroller. This technology not only automates lid operations but also provides real-time feedback
on the bin's fill level through an LCD screen.

BENEFITS AND INNOVATIONS: The advantages of this technology extend beyond efficiency and
convenience. By optimizing waste collection routes and schedules based on real-time data, our self-
operating trash bins reduce unnecessary pickups, minimizing carbon emissions and promoting
environmental sustainability. Moreover, these bins actively influence user behavior, fostering a sense of
responsibility towards proper waste disposal.

DATA-DRIVEN INSIGHTS: One of the standout features is the data-driven insights gained from the self-
operating trash bins. By analyzing patterns and trends in waste generation, we can make informed
decisions about collection schedules, recycling campaigns, and resource allocation. This data-driven
approach ensures a more targeted and effective waste management strategy.

TECHNICAL CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS: During the development process, we encountered


challenges, particularly with the reliability of certain components. The servo motors experienced issues,
and the LCD screen failed to display the desired status during initial tests. However, our team is actively
working to address these challenges, ensuring the seamless operation of our self-operating trash bins.

SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE AND FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS: While our project represents a significant step
towards efficient waste management, we recognize the importance of social acceptance. To enhance
user experience, we recommend future researchers focus on improving features, implementing
automatic waste segregation, and developing systems for notifying waste collection authorities when
bins are full.

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, our self-operating trash bin project is not just a technological innovation
but a step towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. We believe that by combining technology with
environmental responsibility, we can make a meaningful impact on waste management practices. Thank
you for your attention, and we welcome any questions or suggestions you may have.
## Components
The Smart Trash Bin uses the following components:

- Ultrasonic sensor to measure the trash level

- PIR motion sensor to detect nearby motion

- Servo motor to open and close the bin lid

- LCD display for showing the trash level and status

## Setup
The script begins by initializing various components and setting up the system. The LCD displays a
welcome message, and the system initialization is printed to the serial monitor.

## Lid Operation
The `openLid()` function is responsible for opening and closing the bin lid. When motion is detected by
the PIR sensor, the lid opens for 5 seconds and then closes.

## Ultrasonic Distance Measurement


The `getUltrasonicDistance()` function triggers the ultrasonic sensor to measure the distance to the
trash. This distance is then displayed on the LCD, along with a status message indicating whether the bin
is empty, half full, or full.

## Main Loop
The main loop constantly checks for motion using the PIR sensor. If motion is detected, the lid opens.
Additionally, the ultrasonic distance is measured and displayed on the LCD. The loop repeats with a
delay of 1 second between iterations.

## Conclusion
That concludes the Smart Trash Bin reading script. The combination of sensors and a servo motor
creates an efficient and interactive trash bin, making waste management a bit smarter!
