IoT-Based Garbage Monitoring System Using ESP32

Description

Effective waste management is essential for maintaining a clean and sustainable environment, especially in urban areas of Bangladesh. Traditional garbage collection systems often suffer from inefficiencies, leading to overflowing bins and unnecessary trips by collection vehicles. To address these issues, we have developed an innovative IoT-based garbage monitoring system using the ESP32 microcontroller and a suite of advanced sensors tailored for the needs of Bangladesh.

Key Components of the System:

1. ESP32 Microcontroller:
   • The heart of our system, the ESP32, serves as both the microcontroller and Wi-Fi module, ensuring seamless data transmission to the cloud.
2. Ultrasonic Sensors:
   • We have integrated four ultrasonic sensors to accurately measure the fill levels of garbage bins. These sensors provide real-time data on the bin’s status, allowing for timely and efficient waste collection.
3. 16×2 LCD Display:
   • A 16×2 LCD display is included to show the current fill levels and system status locally, ensuring easy monitoring and maintenance.
4. I2C Modules:
   • Four I2C modules are used for efficient sensor communication, reducing wiring complexity and enhancing system stability.
5. 5V SMPS Power Supply:
   • The entire system is powered by a robust 5V SMPS power supply, ensuring reliable and continuous operation.
6. ThingSpeak IoT Platform:
   • For remote monitoring and data visualization, we utilize the ThingSpeak IoT platform. This allows stakeholders to access real-time data from anywhere, optimizing the waste management process.

How It Works:

Our IoT-based garbage monitoring system operates by continuously measuring the fill levels of garbage bins using ultrasonic sensors. The data collected is processed by the ESP32 microcontroller and displayed on the 16×2 LCD screen. Simultaneously, the ESP32 sends this data to the ThingSpeak IoT platform via Wi-Fi. This setup enables remote monitoring, alerting waste management teams when bins are full and need to be emptied.

Benefits of Our System:

1. Real-Time Monitoring:
   • Provides up-to-date information on bin status, preventing overflow and improving cleanliness in cities like Dhaka, Chittagong, and other urban areas.
2. Optimized Collection Routes:
   • Helps in planning efficient collection routes, reducing fuel consumption and operational costs across Bangladesh.
3. Data-Driven Decisions:
   • Historical data analysis aids in making informed decisions for better waste management strategies in municipalities.
4. Scalability:
   • Easily scalable to cover more bins and larger areas, making it suitable for cities and large institutions in Bangladesh.
