Hence, we are designing the system based on Arduino for monitoring garbage from particular area to avoid pollution, unhygienic condition, bad smell, etc. The dustbin is interfaced with microcontroller based system having ultrasonic sensor and gas sensor monitoring the status of garbage. When garbage reaches the level of sensor, then that indication will be given to the microcontroller unit and microcontroller sends signal to the user through GSM. So continuous monitoring of garbage bins will keep the environment clean. The app helps the public to get directly connected to the authorities and to know about the current status of facilities in their area. The main aim of this project is to reduce human resources and efforts along with the enhancement of a smart city vision.

INTRODUCTION In present day, many times we see that garbage bins or dustbins placed at public places are overflowing due to increase in solid waste every day. It creates unhygienic conditions for all people and creates bad smell around the surroundings this leads in spreading some diseases and human illness, to avoid such situation we are designing ―Intelligent monitoring system for smart city using Arduino and android app‖. In this proposed system there are multiple dust bins are located throughout the city, this dust bins are provided with low cost embedded devices. Global system for mobile communication is the latest tread used now a days can be used for our project. Sensors are placed above the dust bin. It will detect whether the garbage is at low, middle or highest level. The main control unit consist of Arduino it will receive the output signal of sensor, process it and according to that it will send the message and long ring notification to particular municipal worker in that area through GSM. After send the message, if dustbin remains the same stage in some amount of time, it will send the information to the higher officer and the PC will display the status of garbage by using LABVIEW.Along with detection of depth of garbage simultaneously Gas sensor will detect the presence of flame or smoke. The work consists of an experimental approach towards waste management and finding an alternative to conventional materials in flexible pavements. Embedded System An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today. 98 percent of all microprocessors are manufactured as components of embedded systems. Examples of properties of typically embedded computers when compared with general- purpose counterparts are low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit cost. This comes at the price of limited processing resources, which make them significantly more difficult to program and to interact with. However, by building intelligence mechanisms on top of the hardware, taking advantage of possible existing sensors. Arduino The Arduino project started at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII) in Ivrea, Italy. In 2003 Hernando Barragán created the development platform wiring as a Master's thesis project at IDII, under the supervision of Massimo Banzi and Casey Reas, who are known for work on the Processing language. The project goal was to create simple, low cost tools for creating digital projects by non-engineers. Arduino is an open source computer hardware and software company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical world.
