Waste management system for analysing real-time dustbin’s status through telegram app and centralized display monitor

This project is developed to replace traditional waste collection method, allowing administrators to monitor dustbin conditions and reducing the need for constant cleaning. The primary parts of this project include hardware circuitry, ThingSpeak database channel, and Telegram app. Administrators and cleaners are able to get notifications regarding the status, location, slot, motion presence, and moisture level inside every dustbin via the ThingSpeak database channel and the Telegram app. The online ThingSpeak database channel is mostly used for verification with an ESP8266 NodeMCU. The input section integrates PIR, ultrasonic, and raindrop sensors, while the output port comprises an LCD, LED(s), servo motor, and buzzer. The ultrasonic sensor is used to determine the amount of space available inside the dustbin, whereas a PIR sensor detects the movement of any pest that could cause an unhealthy environment. Furthermore, the raindrop sensor implies the level of moisture inside the dustbin. In addition, a centralized information monitor is provided to consider some cleaners that might not have a smartphone to notify the status of the dustbin or does not even have the Telegram app. Therefore, this monitor is placed at a strategic location such as at ground floor and hallway so that everyone can see the notification clearly. ThingSpeak database channel platform enhances the collection of waste by storing, analyzing, and notifying in real time, conserving cleaners time and energy. As a result, a clean environment generates high profits for waste management organizations as well as benefits for UiTM community and society.
