Smart Bin

The prototype model of my automatic waste collection system.

The Smart Bin is an innovative solution to a common problem: waste scattered around dustbins. This automatic system is designed to detect and sweep nearby trash directly into the bin, helping to maintain a cleaner and more hygienic environment.

• Core Components: An Arduino UNO acts as the brain, processing signals from an ultrasonic sensor which detects waste.
• Mechanism: Upon detection, a servo motor is activated, which rotates a swiper arm a full 180° to sweep the garbage into the bin.
• Prototype Limitation: The current model is a proof-of-concept and only collects waste from its front.
• Future Vision: The next version will incorporate 360° sensor coverage to detect and collect waste from all sides, making it far more effective.
