Abstract
As waste production is becoming more widely recognized as a significant issue, particularly in developing nations, rising food consumption and population growth have caused environmental degradation and health crises. Nigeria's waste collection and disposal problems are commonly associated with environmental pollution and health crises. Consequently, throwing garbage on roads during environmental sanitation, is a typical method of waste disposal, leading to large piles of refuse along the roadside, which hinders the nation's beauty. Therefore, for Nigeria's waste management system to be effective, sustainable smart bins with efficient Internet of Things (IoT) applications must be quickly adopted to create a green, clean atmosphere within cities. Smart bins with integrated IoT can provide a sustainable future for cities' waste management.. This model seeks to develop a low-cost, intelligent waste bin system with IoT technology. Sensors and data sharing over a Wi-Fi network, allow for remote control of the waste bin, leading to improved optimization of the bin's level of waste. The economic benefits of this IoT-based system include remote access for efficient level control, lower labour costs, improved time and energy efficiency, and reduced congestion in waste bins.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the “Gazi University Journal of Science” comprises such as original research on all aspects of basic science, engineering and technology. Original research results, scientific reviews and short communication notes in various fields of science and technology are considered for publication. The publication language of the journal is English. Manuscripts previously published in another journal are not accepted. Manuscripts with a suitable balance of practice and theory are preferred. A review article is expected to give in-depth information and satisfying evaluation of a specific scientific or technologic subject, supported with an extensive list of sources. Short communication notes prepared by researchers who would like to share the first outcomes of their on-going, original research work are welcome.
