In our city many times we observe the garbage bins or dustbins placed at public places get overflow. It creates unhygienic conditions for people. To avoid all such situations we are going to implement a project called Garbage collection bin overflow indicator using GSM technology. In this project we are going to place ultrasonic sensor upside down over the dustbin. It continuously monitor garbage level. The sensor detection range is approximately 12 feet. In this we are using Atmega328 microcontroller to process data. The data status is also shown on 16×2 LCD.
When garbage level reaches to the threshold value, a SMS will be sent to the respective Municipal authority people so that the collection vehicle will collect the full garbage bins or dustbins.
