Solar Powered IoT based Garbage Collection System

摘要

Garbage Collection is one of the major obstacles that is faced by every municipal corporation. Each municipality tries to find the most efficient way of garbage collection by manually understanding the distribution pattern in a city. This is followed by the distribution of vehicles and workers to different wards and hence creating a hierarchy. The problem lies in the fact that this system is not very efficient and is still untouched by any technical innovation and hence there lies a big scope of improvement by the use of technology. What we suggest is a simple yet robust system that is built upon the use of a network of sensors connected to the internet, providing real-time information about the current state of garbage distribution hence removing the Human-error in the distribution of resources to different areas of a city. The use of Solar energy creates a self-sustaining system which is capable of providing all the data that is required for an automated system.
