The Effectiveness of Utilizing IoT-Based Smart Trash

Abstract

Trash is a big problem in the world. The Trash that has accumulated becomes a breeding ground for disease and reduces the beauty of a place. The development of the internet of things helps humans in doing their job. By IoT, we can be used to create smart trash bins. Today Smart trash bins have been widely used but still need testing to see how effective the use of this tool is. This research aims to test the effectiveness of the smart trash bins, monitoring system model. The method used is to use a NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller based on Arduino Uno to create a solid waste density monitoring model and the HCSR-04 ultrasonic sensor as a medium for measuring the density of waste to be tested. The test results of the system built can display waste height data, provide information on the state of the Trash, and determine the status of empty Trash to full by providing accurate notifications. The results obtained show that the solid waste density test can be recognized properly using the model created. Therefore, this shows that smart Trash can reduce the negative impact of accumulated garbage conditions.
