Abstract – Increase in population growth leads to
Waste generated from these industries and the population collectively measures up-to 68 million tones every year. This is expected to be doubled by 2025[1]. Managing the solid waste collection effectively is a big challenge to the municipal department. If proper waste collection systems are not deployed then this municipal waste accumulates more and spreads around leading to dirty and unhealthy environment [1]. At present the traditional method of collecting waste is by sending the garbage collecting vehicles to all garbage dumpsite where the municipal waste is been dumped by the public as shown in Figure 2.
increase in the amount of garbage generated on a daily basis. There is no proper waste management system to monitor and manage the waste disposals and waste collection. If the existing waste collecting garbage bins are not cleaned on proper intervals, the garbage overfills the garbage bins and hence making the surroundings unhygienic and polluted. Hence a system is required which monitors the status of garbage bins based on quantity of garbage, temperature and humidity variations and foul smell due to decomposition and alerts the concerned authorities, so that the required procedures can be done. A solution to this problem is to use a proposed 3 stage monitoring system: smart garbage bin, gateway, base monitoring station. The status of the bins are determined and is transmitted through the gateway which is monitored at the base monitoring station. Based on the status of the garbage bin the required steps to clear the garbage bin can be implemented. Key Words: Waste management system, Smart-bin, Gateway, Monitoring Base station.
1. INTRODUCTION Every year there is increase in population in the country and lifestyle of the people is also changing at a faster rate. There is also increase in the no of industries and the municipal
Figure 2: Traditional method of picking up garbage Nodes 1 to 7 in figure 2 indicate the garbage collection points in a city , according to the traditional garbage collection practice the garbage trucks travel to all the garbage collection points in the city. This method of collecting the garbage is un-optimized as the garbage collecting trucks are sent to every point without any information of the spot being filled with garbage or empty. This leads to unnecessary consumption of fossil fuel by the trucks to travel to those collection points where there is no garbage to collect. The garbage spots are very soiled, often the employees of the municipal department hesitate to collect the waste by hand and make false statements that the garbage has been collected when enquired by the higher authority. Hence more garbage gets accumulated at the spot as shown in Figure 3[3].

One of the efficient solution that can be incorporated to solve this problem is by using a network of sensors and managing the waste collection methods by analyzing the real-time values obtained from the sensors. By making use of obtained real-time outputs from the sensors the status of the garbage spots can be known and then the shortest
