Smart Sensor-Based Framework for Hygienic Waste Management Using Solar Power and Rf Communication

Efficient waste management is crucial for maintaining environmental hygiene and ensuring the good health of residents. In this article, an automated system for waste management is proposed, utilizing smart sensors to ensure hygiene, efficiency, and sustainability. According to this proposal, the proposed system will enable the touchless opening of the dustbin using PIR and IR sensors when a human being is present. Besides, there will be an automatic system for spraying sanitizers, thus ensuring better hygienic conditions during use. The data from the sensors will be processed using a signal conditioning circuit and a comparator to detect when the dustbin reaches its threshold level. As opposed to other IoT-based approaches, this approach will use RF modules for transferring data between devices, thus making an internet connection unnecessary and ensuring the timely transfer of data. Further, the suggested system will work on the basis of solar panels, which will make it eco-friendly and suitable for sustainable implementation both in rural and urban locations. The data collected from sensors will be transferred to the monitoring facility, where the full bins will be chosen for garbage disposal, which will ensure the reduction of efforts required by sanitation staff during the process of garbage disposal. Overall, the suggested solution will demonstrate.
