Green & Smart Bin with Compactor and Waste Management: A Review

Paper and plastics are the major source of waste in commercial areas or inside industries. Because of low weight and large volume, it inhabits a large space of waste bin which is a reason to fill the bin earlier than it should be. It causes money and time wastage as well as pollution. It impacts the healthy environment of cities in the form of air pollution due to the large movement of the garbage collecting vehicles. In this paper, we proposed a plan to solve this problem by creating a smart bin by following the green technology (Solar power source). With the help of different sensors (ex. Level sensor, fire sensor, touch sensor, etc.), compactor and Infrared (IR) wireless connectivity with the control room. We will create a chain system of waste transportation. In the whole process, we will ensure the participation of citizens. The level sensor will detect the level of waste inside the bin. When a certain level of bin achieved then the compactor will activate and compress it to the possible depth. By this process, it increases the space (up to 70 percent) inside the bin so transportation activity decreases in the area which causes to decreases the pollution level. As India is ready to welcome the modern smart cities so it will play a vital role in solid waste management.
