Garbage Monitoring System

The Garbage Monitoring System is a smart waste management solution that uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect the level of garbage in a bin and indicates it using three levels of LED light. It has a real-time monitoring feature, and when the bin is full, it triggers a buzzer to alert the user. Additionally, it displays the garbage level on an LCD screen.

Working of Project

• The Garbage Monitoring System uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect the garbage level in the bin.
• The ultrasonic sensor emits a high-frequency sound wave that bounces off the surface of the garbage and returns to the sensor.
• The time taken for the sound wave to return is measured by the sensor to calculate the distance between the sensor and the garbage.
• The system measures the distance and converts it into a percentage value of the garbage level.
• The garbage level is indicated using three levels of LED lights - green for less than 50%, yellow for 50-75%, and red for 75-100%.
• The garbage level is also displayed on an LCD screen.
• When the garbage level reaches 100%, the system triggers a buzzer to alert the user that the bin needs to be emptied.
• The ESP8266 Wi-Fi module enables real-time monitoring of the garbage level and allows the system to be connected to the internet.
• The garbage level can be monitored remotely using a web application.
