Abstract: To understand the principle of our proposed system, we must first find out the current state of our country's garbage
collection and treatment system. The garbage bins are improperly maintained, or sometimes due to the lack of proper trash, people throw
their trash on the side of the road. During the current Covid-19 pandemic, this is a major challenge. Therefore, our goal is to provide an
efficient and economical garbage collection and disposal system that provides a clean, healthy, and environmental-friendly society.
Technically, we will use technologies like GSM and GPS. So, the proposed system aspires to create a better system that will help meet
the needs of the target audience. In short, we are helping the community for a cleaner environment. We have few technologies around us
right now that can be used in this way for a better tomorrow.
Index Terms: Smart Dustbin, GSM Module, Arduino Uno, Ultrasonic sensor and Waste management.
I. INTRODUCTION
In society, the rate of waste generation is increasing exponentially in all facets of society, leading to more and more threats to
living things. Waste management is a critical issue, but one that is often overlooked. Waste management takes time and requires a
lot of effort. Because of the less time required and the inefficient effort, we see poor management in the garbage disposal system.
Trash cans are found to overflow in many places. This overflow creates a dirty environment which also turns out to be unsanitary.
Solid waste disposal is an expensive urban service that consumes around 30% of urban society's annual budget in many
developing countries
[1]
. Methods to reduce fuel consumption have been investigated and observed. According to a literature
study, the constant use of optimal collection routes can save an average of 7.5 liters of fuel per truck per day
[2]
. Some modern
methods along with the improvement of smart cities, garbage has many direct and indirect harmful effects on the environment.
The direct effects cause physical damage to people and the environment. The indirect effects add to the opinions and behaviors
that we as a society contribute to the problem. Kolkata being one of the fastest developing cities, according to the Kolkata
Municipal Corporation [KMC] generates around 1,300 to 1,400 tons of waste per day. India generates around 147,613 metric tons
of solid waste per day. Statistics also show that in small towns around 0.17 kg of waste per person per day and in large cities
around 0.62 kg per person per day

Krishna Nirde et al
[1]
suggested the idea of continuous monitoring of garbage containers by waste disposal authorities.
Arduino board then processes the information received at the RF receiver.
Suresh et al
[4]
gave the idea of the Internet of Things (IoT) topic and additional details on IoT, the right intelligent
environment, and other applications.
Vikrant Bhor et al
[5]
provided us with additional details and designs required for the flow and handling of garbage during
collection.
M. T. H. Shubho et al
[6]
have performed a quantitative analysis between existing trash cans and their service population. The
study first examines the spatial distribution of trash cans in some areas of Dhaka using the GIS average functions for the nearest
neighbor. Surprisingly, the spatial circulation of today's trash cans appears to have a predominantly inclusive pattern.
Narayan Sharma et al
[7]
have equipped the intelligent containers with ultrasonic sensors that measure the fill level of the
garbage container to be filled. Every time the recycle bin crosses a level, the sensors receive the fill-level data as an instant
message to the garbage scanner with the help of the GSM module.
Balamurugan S. et al
[8]
shows an example of sending warning messages to the authorities when the containers are completely
full. In this proposed system, ultrasonic sensors detect the level of garbage.
Vinoth Kumar et al
[9]
proposed a system based on RFID and GSM. Red LED on the trash can lights up, indicating that the
trash can is full. Otherwise, the green LED lights up. The coordinates of the location where the garbage can is located are sent to
the authorities via the GSM system.
