Smart Garbage Bin Monitoring System

The increasing student population in our country has given rise to a corresponding increase in waste generation within educational institutions, including UiTM Perlis. This surge in waste poses a significant challenge, as inadequate waste management can lead to detrimental consequences, such as the emission of air pollutants that pose health risks. Additionally, the accumulation of overflowing garbage serves as a breeding ground for flies, which can transmit various diseases, including food poisoning, dysentery, and cholera. To address these waste management challenges in UiTM Perlis, this research proposes the implementation of a Smart Garbage Bin Monitoring System. The primary objective is to develop a sophisticated prototype system that incorporates humidity, ultrasonic, and GPS sensors to effectively monitor and locate garbage bins. With the aid of a mobile application called Blynk, users will have access to comprehensive data on garbage levels and bin locations. The functionality test, prototype system test, usability test, and network performance test conducted for this project have yielded positive results, indicating the system's efficacy. However, there is still potential for further enhancement and refinement. Future researchers are recommended to consider incorporating additional sensors and implementing mechanisms to gather user feedback, thereby optimizing the system's performance and addressing any potential shortcomings.
