Smart-Dustbin-IOT

A college Expo project and providing to open source —

🗑️ Smart Dustbin (IoT-Based Automatic Waste Management System)

An intelligent IoT-enabled Smart Dustbin that automatically opens its lid using sensors and monitors garbage levels in real-time. This project promotes hygiene, automation, and smart waste management using embedded systems and IoT technology.

⚙️ Working Principle

1. Ultrasonic sensor detects object (hand) near dustbin
2. Distance is calculated using sensor
3. If object is within threshold → Servo motor opens lid
4. After few seconds → Lid automatically closes
5. Sensor inside bin monitors garbage level
6. If bin is full → Notification sent via IoT platform
