Abstract
Indiscriminate disposal of solid waste is a major issue in urban centers of most developing countries and it poses a serious threat to healthy living of the citizens. Access to reliable data on the state of solid waste at different locations within the city will help both the local authorities and the citizens to effectively manage the menace. In this paper, an intelligent solid waste monitoring system is developed using Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing technologies. The fill level of solid waste in each of the containers, which are strategically situated across the communities, is detected using ultrasonic sensors. A Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) communication link is used to transmit the sensor data to an IoT cloud platform known as ThingSpeak. Depending on the fill level, the system sends appropriate notification message (in form of tweet) to alert relevant authorities and concerned citizen(s) for necessary action. Also, the fill level is monitored on ThingSpeak in real-time. The system performance shows that the proposed solution may be found useful for efficient waste management in smart and connected communities.
