Careless trashing of garbage onto the roads is a common scenario to be found in all developing countries. A Wi-Fi Trash Bin is a concept of an attached Wi-Fi router along with a dustbin. Whenever anyone puts the trash in the dustbin, it automatically detects that trash and generates a temporary Wi-Fi code for the user to connect to free Wi-Fi for a limited period of time. Once the time limit is over it automatically disconnects the user. A single user can use the Wi-Fi twice a day. A Wi-Fi Trash Bin uses multiple technologies. The first is Wi-Fi technology which we have to optimize to make sure that all the generated codes work properly. The second technology used for motion sensing and figuring out how the trash comes in and its movement. The third is entire bridge between the motion sensor and the Wi-Fi network to ensure that they connect at the right time. So it is a mix of hardware and software technologies. Wi- Fi dustbin is a new concept where users get awarded (free Wi-Fi connectivity) for keeping their surroundings clean. We got inspired from “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” which is a national campaign by the Government of India, to clean the streets, roads and infrastructure of the country. Citizens are now becoming active participants in cleanliness activities across the nation; the dream of a Clean India once seen by Mahatma Gandhi has begun to get a shape.

Introduction Garbage accumulation is so high that it becomes a crisis if left uncollected. If the garbage collector does not turn up, a household would probably direct their maidservant to pick the bags of trash, as it would be too much for the bags to be kept inside the home. The servant would probably dump the trash at the end of the lane. Having seen that, others would follow suit. The place would gradually turn into a garbage dump yard, which would turn into a haven for health diseases. Inefficient waste collection systems lead to environmental pollution, which in turn results in breeding of insects, animal scavengers and rodents, and giving rise to range of diseases. The traditional method includes burning of the waste if not collected in time. Burning of waste causes air pollution to great extent. Uncontrolled release of methane by an aerobic decomposition of waste also adds in social health issues. Waste is an important issue, which needs to be tackled smartly. Wisely, we segregate the waste at our homes for ease at processing and recycling. We observed trash vans/trucks come irregular to homes creating a havoc of households. Due to this many civilians empty their overloaded dustbins in open spaces. This in turn increases environmental pollution. We got inspired from “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” which is a national campaign by the Government of India, to clean the streets, roads and infrastructure of the country. The citizens want to have better service, lower cost and having easy accessible reports on what has been done and how much it cost. Prime Minister Narendra Modi may want a “Swachh Bharat” (clean India) by 2019, but sweeping the streets does not address the enormity of India’s real garbage challenge. As prosperity grows, 62 million tonnes of garbage is generated everyday by the 377 million people living in urban India, now the world’s third- largest garbage generator. However, it’s not the amount of waste generated that’s as much of an issue as the fact that more than 45 million tons, or 3 million trucks worth, of garbage is untreated and disposed of by municipal authorities everyday in an unhygienic manner leading to health issues and environmental degradation. These 3 million trucks, if laid end to end, would cover half the distance between the earth and the moon. Or to put it another way, that’s the distance you would cover if you made 15 trips between Mumbai and Los Angeles. With rapid urbanization, industrialization and an explosion in population in India, solid waste management will be a key challenge for state governments and local municipal bodies in the 21st century. The “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” (Clean India Mission) was created to tackle these very issues related to waste management, cleanliness and sanitation on a national level. The campaign was launched on 2nd October 2014, on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary and is expected to be completed by 2019, on Gandhiji’s 150th birth anniversary.
