Smart Bin: An Intelligent Waste Alert and Prediction System Using Machine Learning Approach

This work is about creating a smart waste-bin that alerts the authorities to gather the waste which has been piling up in the bins. It guides the garbage-trucks to collect the garbage only from those areas where the bin is critically filled. The 'machine-learning' concept has been used to gather information about the waste generation habits in that region and hence predict the amount of waste that will be generated in the near future. Apart from that, the analysis of the continuous data is also done that has been sent over the cloud in the form of graphs. The email alert and the text message have also been sent automatically to the concerned authorities once the level of waste in the dustbin crosses the threshold as set by the authorities. This would save time and money of the authorities considerably. This would also reduce air pollution in the area and prevent spreading of diseases caused by unpicked waste.
