Abstract: Title: - "AUTOMATIC SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT" System is for sensing the Waste level in dustbin and send the message to application. Two IR-pairs are used, which will sense the waste levels for empty dustbin and for full dustbin. Appropriate Message will be send to application handle by municipality. Proper routing of cleaning vehicle will be done on the basis of bin which is to be filled first. This data can be seen by higher authorities so that they will be aware of routine of cleaning employees by comparing date of filled and date of emptying dustbin.

Field of Invention
This invention relates to the field of Internet of Things. The invention relates to connecting a dustbin to the mobile device. The invention further relates to the most popular problem Routing the cleaning vehicles. The invention further relates to proper working of Municipality.
Background / Prior Art
Solid waste is one of the main issues in a sustainable world. Nowadays, solid-waste collection is not an optimized process. The invention utilizes android app as Interface to route and manage waste level. In Today's era android app is used in many appliances. But for solid waste management and vehicle routing there is no app, which senses the waste level using Infrared. Components used in this system are:
• IR-pair
• Transistor
• LED
• PCB/ Bread Board
• Arduino UNO
• GSM SIM-900
• Android Mobile (For application)
Arduino:
The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 (datasheet). It is used here for codding and manage message delivery through GSM.
GSM SIM-900
The SIM900 is a complete Quad-band GSM/GPRS solution in a SMT module which can be embedded in the customer applications. Which is used here to send the waste level of dustbin.

Objective of the invention
The objectives and sub objectives of the present invention are:
(1) Cleaned priority will be given to the bin which is to be filled first.
(2) To avoid the over flowing of dustbin.
(3) To save fuel which is waste due to not proper routing of cleaning vehicle.
(4) Provide data to higher ministers, who are unaware of the irregularity of municipal
employees.
(5) It takes the advantage of Broadcast Receiver class and Sms Manager class in
Android to Trace the message information sent by GSM.
Advantages of system:
1) IR Sensor is very cheap.
2) It can sense Sponge or plastic waste, which is not possible using ultrasonic sensor much efficiently as they absorb ultrasonic.
3) Android app can be easily usable by any government officer.
4) All higher authorities will be aware of cleaning.
5) GSM would be more portable and robust and can be accessible form any place of world in compare to any Bluetooth or Wi-Fi system.
Detailed Description
Stepwise description of the process of the invention is mentioned herewith.
For filled dustbin:
1) One Infrared Sensor will sense for the interruption at 80% level of dustbin, which is reverse biased by transistor.
2) If Infrared senses any interruption at 80%, photodiode will send the signal to Arduino.
3) Arduino will activate the GSM, and message to the municipality will be send.
4) Android app will fetch the message data and update the database which consists of message date, time, content, binid.
5) Location in android app will be marked as red when dustbin would be 80% filled.
For Empty Dustbin:
If the municipality employees have taken the waste, then waste level would be less than 10%.
1) Second infrared sensor installed at 10% level, will emit the infrared to photodiode. And if the waste level is less than 10% photodiode will successfully receive the infrared.
2) If Infrared senses infrared at 10%, photodiode will send the signal to Arduino.
3) Arduino will activate the GSM, and message to the municipality will be send.
4) Android app will fetch the message data and update the database which consists of message date, time, content, bin_id.
5) Location in android app will be marked as green when dustbin would be less than 10% filled.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
In present scenario, our government have placed dustbin in every street of our country to develop cleanliness and to help the people to dumb their waste in particular place. These bins are cleaned by the local government paid cleaners, who are under the control of some higher officials (who is responsible for the cleanliness and heath of that particular city). Every city has officials to deal all this matters, these local cleaners clean the bins as to the time-schedule allotted to each street in a city.
EXAMPLE:
Consider a STREET (A) with a DUSTBIN (A). Which is to be cleaned on every 20 day or on every 20th day of month. Similarly, on 19th day of the month, there will another street which is to be cleaned.
(i.e.)PRIORITY OF THE BIN TO BE CLEANED IS BASED ON TIME PERIOD (like a QUEUE)
The following are the problems that occurs in this system.
CASE 1:
What if the bin gets filled before 20 days? Simple, the garbage gets OVERFLOWED. As to the location this garbage will affect the people by many ways. Putting the garbage is a good. What if the garbage gets overflow and cause environmental pollution?
CASE 2:
Will the LOCAL CLEANERS do their work properly, because, the officials cannot come back of every area every day?
CASE 3:
If there is a delay on the process of cleaning or there is no sign of cleaning. Does every people in that particular area have concern about their place cleanliness and will they inform the officials?
CASE 4:
Is it possible for the officials to control all works of the city under his control and get proper report regarding every situation? Will that require any manual human assistant? Can he access all those things from any point of the world?
Claims
We claim
1) Infrared sensor in dustbin to be installed at 80%(For full level) and at 10% for empty level which is cheaper in cost. Both the infrared will work in opposite manner, i.e one will send message if interruption occurs and second will sends the message when there will be no interruption respectively.
2) A method in claim 1, will use Arduino and GSM circuit to send the message to a mobile.
3) Android application is used to fetch the message and retrieve the data into database, which will change the colour of location according to requirement, i.e Red for full dustbin, green for empty dustbin. This data can be visible to higher authorities to check the regularity of cleaning team by comparing dates of record of 10% filled and 80% filled dustbins.
4) Cleaning vehicle routing will be on the bases of the bin which is to be filled first.
