Abstract: With the ever increasing population and rapid urbanization, the challenge of efficient disposal is a bigger concern in a vast country like India. Numerous techniques and methods have been proposed by various authors but the implementation of the same has found very little patronage. The biggest challenge in waste management is the timely cleaning up of the community bins which are not happening leading to large scale pollution and degradation in the land structure. A novel smart garbage management system suitable for Indian conditions is proposed. The proposed scheme enables the civic body to schedule the clearing of all the bins in the locality by estimating a route map for the traversal. This drastically reduces the manpower, fuel and difficulty in navigation. The level of the waste is measured using the Ultrasonic Sensor. If the wastage level reaches a certain value., i.e. fixed threshold value, an SMS is send to the concerned authority and if the level of wastes is above 95% the call will be initiated to the municipal corporation. A path planner is developed which enables the traversal in the shortest possible route.
