smart service dustbin project with IOT.

2. Introduction
In the current time, the immense growth in population creates
unhygienic environment for the citizen of a society with
respect to waste generation. This rapid generation of waste
leads to various infectious diseases in the environment.
In hospitals, the trash bins and rubbish bins being used normally
require a person to open it which can lead to spread of some
diseases especially if its unsanitary, inconveniences when lifting
garbage with both hands and its hard to tell when its full.
prototype that functions in the following ways;
 Automatically opens the lid when it senses a person
 Closes automatically after use.

3. Problem Statement
 Trash bin top covers are unsanitary.
 Further more, opening the lid for trash bins with lid tops can be
an inconvenience and in most cases its hard to tell when the bin
is full before opening it to throw in rubbish.
 To help resolve this problem, Smart Service Bin has been
developed to help improve waste management system in the
environment and make it more efficient, hygienic and
environmentally friendly.

4. Significance
 It reduces contact between the person and the trash
bin.
 It reduces the spread of diseases brought about by
poor sanitation and garbage overflow
 Reduces on time spent trying to multitask in opening
the trash bin.
 Finally, it provides an easy indication to know once the
trash bin has gotten full hence can easily be emptied
to be reused again in time.

5. Main objective
 To design and develop a smart service bin
 To investigate the related literature and analyze the requirements necessary
for developing a smart trash bin
 To design and implement a smart service bin
 To test and validate a smart service bin

6. Scope
 Technical
The project is focused on
designing and developing a
smart service bin for hospitals
 The project involves the use
of various technologies such
as Arduino Microcontroller,
GSM, Ultrasonic sensor,
Servo motor which help in
the automatic opening of the
bin.
 Geographical
Hospitals
 Time
2days

7. Existing systems

Smart service bin  Limits spread of
diseases
 Saves time
 Suitable for the
vulnerable
 Prevents air pollution
 Expensive
 Needs continuous
powering
 Regular emptying
leading to
inconveniences

9. Requirements Gathering
 Requirements were based on the useful literature obtained from relevant sources. The major
ones include;
 Literature review
 Consultations
 Internet
Requirements analysis
 The gathered requirements were analyzed thoroughly in order to come up with both functional
and non-functional requirements of the system.
Testing and validation
 Component testing, each component was tested ensuring proper functioning.
 System testing, the developed system was tested and validated to achieve the main objective.

10. Tools and software used
 Resistors
 Two ultrasonic sensors
 Two LED lights
 Servo motor

12. Recommendation
 We recommend the use of a GPS to track the exact location
of the bin that needs emptying.

13. Conclusion
In conclusion, automated dustbins have the potential to
revolutionize waste management and promote sustainability.
They offer a more efficient, hygienic and environmentally
friendly solution to the traditional waste management methods.
The implementation of automated dustbins could have a
significant impact on reducing waste and improving overall
cleanliness of the environment.
