Abstract: In city areas where people are more, managing garbage is in an inappropriate way leading to multiplying of germs that can cause illness. There is a difference in how frequently they use these litter bins in various regions. Periodic checking with timing gaps does not help. They may overflow at times even earlier than expected. To avoid this and to enhance the cleaning, a smart garbage monitoring method to find when the garbage can is full is proposed in this paper. The method’s design gathers such information as well as transmits it via a network of wireless type. In this proposed method, sensing of the dustbin’s trash level is done by sensors as well as information is transmitted to the official mobile station via GSM and GPS module. Online monitoring of the garbage level at control room is made using a WiFi Module. Arduino processor interfaces the system of sensors with the network modules. This data helps contracted cleaners as well as those who provide garbage cans, promptly empty to maintain the area spick and span.
