Clean Pakistan

Abstract

Waste management is one of the primary problems that the world faces irrespective of the case of a developed or developing country. The main problem in waste management is that the dustbins are overflowed everywhere, and municipal committee is unaware of this big issue. It, in turns, leads to various hazards such as bad odour & ugliness to that place which may be the root cause for the spread of various diseases. So, we are going to develop a smart garbage collection system (Clean Pakistan) in order to deal with such hazardous scenario and to secure public health. The main idea of the proposed work is to develop a smart intelligent garbage alert system for proper garbage management. This garbage collection system is developed for dustbin clearance by giving an alert notification to the municipal web server for instant cleaning of a dustbin. This alert notification is generated based on the level of garbage in the bin. An ultrasonic sensor which is interfaced with Arduino esp8266 is used to check the level of garbage in bin. The notification will be sent to the municipal web server through which it will be delivered to user by an android application along with garbage bin number and its location once if garbage is 80% filled. Once the alert is received, Municipal Corporation takes initiative to clean the garbage bin. After cleaning the garbage bin, the municipal web server gets updated about the garbage bin been cleaned. This system provides the information that whether the dustbins are cleaned up in proper time or not and how municipal committee cope with these issues.
