Description
Summary:Nowadays, humankind has generated enormous amounts of waste that can affect the environment and human health. Therefore, an effective waste management system is developed as an initiative to replace the traditional waste collection activity within an area. By using this brand-new system, the administrator and the cleaners can identify which dustbins need to be collected without having to spend a lot of time and effort constantly checking every dustbin. The purpose of this project is to specifically manage the data about the state of each dustbin over a large area, particularly in the UiTM campus. All data that has been collected from every dustbin will be stored and analyzed by this smart system via a secure database channel. The three primary parts in this project are the hardware part, the ThingSpeak database channel and the Telegram app. The administrators and cleaners will be able to receive notifications about the status, location, slot, motion detection and other details of each dustbin, by connecting the ThingSpeak database channel to the Telegram app on a smartphone. An ESP8266 NodeMCU board is mainly used by this system to attest with the online ThingSpeak database channel. The input port is equipped with PIR and ultrasonic sensors, while the output port is equipped with an LCD, LED(s), servo motor, and buzzer. The ultrasonic sensor is applied to measure the amount of space available in the dustbin and a PIR sensor is used to detect movements of any pests, bugs or rats that could create an unhealthy environment. Consequently, this smart developed system has shown benefits to the community by averting hazardous situations and providing a practical and efficient waste management solution.
