Abstract: IoT based smart Garbage monitoring system is a solution designed to automate waste management using modern technology. The system uses a ESP8266 microcontroller along with an ultrasonic sensor, GPS module and GSM module to monitor garbage levels and send alerts The ultrasonic sensor detects the fill level of the garbage bin, and the GPS module tracks its location once the bin is full, the GSM module sends an SMS notification to the waste Collection authorities, allowing them to pick up the trash Promptly. The system helps in reducing unnecessary garbage collection trips, improving efficiency and Promoting a cleaner environment by ensuring timely waste disposal. This IoT-based system not only improves the efficiency of waste management but also promotes sustainability by minimizing unnecessary trips and optimizing resource utilization. Furthermore, it helps reduce environmental pollution, carbon emissions, and operational costs associated with waste collection.
