This document discusses the adoption of smart bins for waste management. Smart bins use RFID tags and are connected to an online system to track waste levels and routing garbage trucks. They can identify waste types to improve sorting efficiency and alert authorities when full to increase collection efficiency. Challenges include an unfriendly user interface, limited availability, and an unappealing rewards system. Recommendations are made to improve the application, partner with better brands for rewards, enhance smart bin connectivity, and improve marketing.

1. Adoption of Smart Bins

2. Background
• Waste management is currently one of the issues on which billions of dollars are spent around the world.
Trash collection and sorting are the most important aspects of waste management. Also, one of the
problems with waste management is that public garbage bins overflow before the next cleaning operation
begins. This, in turn, causes different dangers such as foul odour and ugliness in that location, which may
be the source of disease transmission. In this work, we suggest IOT enabled dustbins as a solution to this
problem. These bins employ RFID tags to track rubbish and are linked to a web-based online system where
the host server calculates points and updates the virtual wallet database based on the weight of waste added.
It also monitors the dustbins' capacity and updates the status of each bin on the municipal server. It alerts
them when the bin is full and calculates the quickest route to empty all of the bins depending on the
capacity of municipal garbage loading vehicles. As soon as a truck completes a route given to it, its capacity
is computed and updated based on the number of dustbins served by the truck. Furthermore, our application
assists the user in material waste classification, and the smart bin is aware of its contents and may report
back to the rest of the recycling chain. Our solution aims to solve two major issues: waste sorting efficiency
and waste collection efficiency.

3. INTERNET OF THINGS
• The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution has
resulted in the development of a wide range of
gadgets, including radio-frequency identification
tags, sensors, and other intelligent devices. Smart
cities are created by using devices with large
computing capabilities and those that have been
turned into intelligent objects to monitor and
gather information about a city's environment. The
most significant issue that smart cities are
currently facing is trash management. An
expansion in urban areas and rapid population
growth are two elements that have a direct impact
on this issue. Intelligent services have the potential
to serve as a frontline for gathering data on all
aspects of human activity.

4. WASTE MANAGEMENT
• The discipline associated with
controlling the generation,
storage, collection, transport or
transfer, processing, and
disposal of waste materials in
a way that best addresses a
range of public health,
conservation, economic,
aesthetic, engineering, and
other environmental
considerations," according to
the definition of waste
management. Planning,
administrative, financial,
engineering, and legal tasks
are all included in its purview.

5. Smart Bins
• As part of attempts to decrease waste, the UAE is testing
a trashcan that can recognize the trash placed into it and
the person using it
• The Smart Bin promotes recycling by combining cutting-
edge artificial intelligence with mobile technologies.
• The Smart Bin also notifies customers how much carbon
they save by recycling their rubbish, which is becoming
increasingly important as people become more aware of
global warming and plastic pollution.
• The Smart Bin, which is modelled after reverse vending
machines that give a deposit in exchange for the return of
a plastic bottle, employs incentives to encourage more
people to recycle.

6. Project Scope
• To find the scalability of this project: How feasible and scalable it is to implement these projects in UAE.
• To find adaptability of this regime: would the private sector and consumers be willing to adapt to these
sustainable changes, which may or may not disrupt their lifestyle and functioning.
• To increase awareness of smart recycling
• To make cost efficient recycling methods

7. CHALLENGES
• The user interface is not user friendly of the
application
• Availability of smart bins is less
• Reward system isn’t worthy
• Use of smart bins isn’t explained well

8. Recommendations
• Keep enhancing the application
• Tie up with better brands for rewards
• Better connectivity of smart bins in locality
• Improved market strategy of the campaign
