The Challenge | Smash your SDGs!

Your challenge is to develop creative solutions that use Earth observations to address the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and foster sustainable development worldwide. Use NASA and other Earth observing satellites’ data as well as information generated by crowd-sourcing and in-situ measurements to create practical applications that support environmental and societal policy across water, health, food security and/or land use domains.

Smart Garbage Bin

To design a “Smart Dustbin” which is a GSM enabled bin which automatically detects the garbage level and sends message to respective municipal authorities updating the status of the bin.

Introduction

Most of the cities, towns and villages in developing countries are not well designed to facilitate the suitable garbage collection methods Common Public dustbins are filling over with the garbage and no one is concerned to clear them up as and when they get completely packed with overflowing garbage.Keeping in view of this big problem, it will be a good suggestion to do something to deal with this unwanted waste and from this, the concept of ‘Smart Dustbin’ came out.

Objectives

To design a “Smart Dustbin” which is a GSM enabled bin which automatically detects the garbage level and sends message to respective municipal authorities updating the status of the bin.

Broad description of Our project

To design a “Smart Dustbin” which is a GSM enabled bin which automatically detects the garbage level and sends message to respective municipal authorities updating the status of the bin.

Smart Dustbin-

steps:

1. Take Arduino uno, Ultrasonic sensor, servo motor, Jumper wires, 9v battery and dustbin box.

2. Connect servo motor yellow pin(signal pin) to Arduino digital pin no. 9

3. Connect servo +Vcc pin to Arduino +5V pin.

4. Connect servo GND pin to Arduino GND pin.

5. Take Ultrasonic sensor connect sensor TRIG pin to Arduino pin no. 2.

6. Connect sensor ECHO pin to Arduino pin no. 3.

7. Connect servo at the top of Dustbin with the help of glue gun.

8. Connect washer and thread to the dustbin box.

9. Make a hole infront of dustbin box and fit ultrasonic sensor as shown in image.

10. Upload the code.

11. Power the Arduino with a 9V battery
