Smart Dustbin

Elevate your waste management game with our Smart Dustbin. This innovative project combines technology and convenience to revolutionize how you dispose of trash. Watch the video for a quick glimpse into its functionality and potential applications.

Features:

• Ultrasonic Sensor: Detects approaching objects and triggers the lid to open automatically, offering a touchless experience.
• Arduino Control: Utilizes Arduino microcontroller for precise control and customization of bin operations.
• Servo Motor: Powers the lid mechanism, smoothly opening and closing in response to detected motion.
• LED Indicator: Provides visual feedback, signaling when the bin is in use or full.
• Portable Design: Compact and lightweight, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings.

Components:

• Ultrasonic Sensor
• Arduino Microcontroller
• Servo Motor
• LED Indicator
• Battery Pack
• Switch

Working:

1. The ultrasonic sensor detects movement within its range, signaling the Arduino microcontroller.
2. Upon receiving the signal, the microcontroller activates the servo motor, causing the lid to open.
3. The user deposits trash into the bin, and once the motion is no longer detected, the lid closes automatically.
4. The LED indicator illuminates to indicate the status of the bin, such as when it is in use or reaches capacity.
5. The battery pack powers the entire system, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Application:

• Home: Enhance the cleanliness and convenience of your home by using the Smart Dustbin in your kitchen, bathroom, or any other space.
• Office: Promote hygiene and efficiency in office environments by deploying Smart Dustbins in communal areas and workstations.
• Public Spaces: Install Smart Dustbins in public parks, malls, and other high-traffic areas to encourage proper waste disposal practices and maintain cleanliness.
• Educational: Use the Smart Dustbin as an educational tool in schools and workshops to teach students about sensor technology and automation principles.
