Abstract

Solid waste management is one of the demanding environmental challenges confronted by
urban and rural areas of Nigeria. Trash is being thrown in open areas by people without a second
thought on the consequences. Such trash gets carried away by wind or rain into the drains and becomes a
source of obstruction with time thereby stopping free flow of water. The main problem in waste
management is that overflow of garbage occurs in public bins before the next cleaning process is carried
out and this has led to huge environmental pollution and epidemics in the society. To avoid all such
hazardous scenario and maintain public cleanliness and health, a real time solid waste management
system using an autonomous power supply is needed. The main aim of this research is to develop a real
time solid waste management system that will be able to monitor the garbage fill level of the waste bin,
update an online database and send notification for proper collection at the same time. This process is
aided by the ultrasonic sensor which is interfaced with Arduino ATmega328 microcontroller to check the
level of garbage filled in the dust bin and send SMS to notify an authorized waste management personnel
and also updating an online database. The real time status of the garbage fill level is displayed on a web
application which helps the waste management authority to determine the right to carry at any time. In
addition, a Solar panel was attached to the waste bin in order to power the waste bin to prevent down
time. In this way environmental condition of the country will be improved.
