Inspiration- The waste bins overflowing with wastes in public spaces made us realise not only keeping a dustbin but collecting it regularly is also needed.So a simple hassle free solution is being presented by our teamn
What it does-Uses iot technology to notify the location of a filled bin to corporation authorities for its collection
How we built it-The basic Idea behind project is to implement a smart way of handling the garbage in a smart way which is done by using the IOT protocol for transmitting the dustbin status wirelessly, which can generate notification to the concerned person that system is filled with garbage and need to be replaced We have selected the Espresso chip which is a node MCU ESP8266 platform. The ultrasonic sensor will show the level of garbage filled in dustbin, whereas the proximity sensors will detect the obstacle present in front of dustbin to avoid collision. LCD interfacing has been done to show the current situation of dustbin.
Challenges we ran into-Getting to know the right hardware components and its fittings
Accomplishments that we're proud of-trying to make a change
What we learned-How easy it is to blame government and hard to come up with solutions ourselves.We learnt to complain less and actively think about a solution to the problem
What's next for E Dustbin-Marketing and awareness in our own campus and then other educational institutions
