This document proposes a mini project to create an automatic smart dustbin. It will use an Arduino Uno, ultrasonic sensor, micro servo motor, and other components. The dustbin lid will open automatically without contact when a person is detected within 2-30 centimeters. This maintains hygiene while reducing workload. The project aims to reduce energy used to open lids and advance technological progress. It provides the objectives, components, timeframe, budget, software and hardware flows, and addresses evaluation of prototypes challenges and opportunities for improvement.

Background • The Smart Dustbin Project comes under the domain of Environment, Health, and Hygiene. Through this Smart Dustbin project, we aimed to build a working prototype of a dustbin whose lid opens automatically, without any contact when a person comes near it (in the range of 2 – 30 centimeters) to throw the trash. Since the process is contactless it maintains public hygiene and sanitation. Moreover, there are many instances in public places where the dustbins overflow because of irregularity in the waste collection from the dustbin (which is usually done by the municipality sanitation workers).
Objectives • Reduces the energy used to open the lid of the bin. • Increasing technological progress in the country in the era of globalization. • Reduce the workforce working in municipalities.

Project Budget ITEM Description of Work Anticipated Costs UNO Arduino UNO is the best RM40.00 board to get started with electronics and coding. Ultrasonic Sensor Ultrasonic sensors work by RM3.00 sending out a sound wave at a frequency above the range of human hearing. Micro Servo9g Tiny and lightweight with RM6.50 high output power. Servo can rotate approximately 180 degrees (90 in each direction), and works just like the standard kinds but smaller.
LED 220 Ohm resistor is one of the RM1.00
most common resistors in electronics USB Cable This cable is used to interface any RM4.00 of the Arduino board with your computer, you can also connect your USB printer, scanner, and more to your computer. These cables Transmits data at high speeds with the error-free, high- performance transmission. Jumper Wires Small wire products that can be RM2.50 used to connect components to each other on breadboards TOTAL RM57.00
Project Flow 1 (Software)
STEP:
1. First step, insert the jumper wire from the VCC ultrasonic sensor into the 5V hole of the arduino uno. Next, insert the jumper wire from the Trigo ultrasonic sensor into hole 9 of the arduino uno. Then, insert the jumper wire from the Echo ultrasonic sensor into hole 8 of the arduino uno. Finally, insert the jumper wire from the Gnd ultrasonic sensor into the Gnd hole of the arduino uno. Insert the LED positive leg into hole 13 of the arduino uno and the negative leg into the Gnd(D) hole of the arduino uno. Enter the ultrasonic sensor coding using arduino uno.
2. Second step, insert the orange jumper wire from the micro servo into hole 7 of the arduino uno. Next, insert the red jumper wire from the micro servo into the 5V hole of the arduino uno. Then, insert the brown jumper wire from the micro servo into the Gnd hole of the arduino uno. Enter micro servo coding using arduino uno.
3. Third step, make a hole in the side of the trash can using a screwdriver or a suitable tool. Place a mark before making a hole on the side of the bin so it's easier to estimate. Next, stick the micro servo on top of the trash can lid.
4. Step four, connect all the materials that have been prepared. after that do a test on the completed project.
pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); // Sets the echoPin as an Input pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); // Starts the serial communication Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { // Clears the trigPin digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW); delayMicroseconds(2); // Sets the trigPin on HIGH state for 10 micro seconds digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH); delayMicroseconds(10); digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW); // Reads the echoPin, returns the sound wave travel time in microseconds duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH); // Calculating the distance distance= duration*0.034/2; // Prints the distance on the Serial Monitor Serial.print("Distance: "); Serial.println(distance); if ( distance <= 25 ) // Change Distance according to Ultrasonic Sensor Placement {
The end result of this project is not the same as planned because there are several problems that occur either in terms of components or coding. It is caused when when we insert the coding into the arduino uno micro servo moves while the ultrasonic sensor does not work. We also tried to use the battery, the problem was that both did not work well. Today as we know population is flourishing in our country like ever before so more and more apartment complexes and houses are constructed every day, so due to this the rate of waste generated is significantly high and due to this the bins get full at a faster rate and hence after a point the bins start to overflow, although the corporation people are trying their level best to send garbage trucks to every single area to empty the bins but after an hour or so the bins get full again also sometimes these garbage trucks go the areas where the bins are hardly even full rather than assigning these trucks to the right places where they need to be.so instead of exploiting manpower, fuel, etc we can let technology to do its work with the new and improved user friendly automated SmartDustbin
