BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art. [0003] Quantity of waste generated and generated waste potential impacts depend on multifarious factors, including level of industrial development, way in which wastes are managed, existing state of e local environment and capacity of receiving media. Nowadays, cities with developing economies experience exhausted waste collection services, inadequately managed and uncontrolled dumpsites and problems are worsening. Key issue of an inadequate waste management is that garbage bin at public places gets overflowed well in advance before commencement of the next cleaning process. Hence, a system is needed that can deracinate or at least minimize this problem to some extent. [0004] Smart Dustbin is a singular solution to specific and peculiar problems in waste management. Existing solutions can include smart dustbin with set of sensors to facilitate garbage monitoring and detection of the garbage. However, existing solutions may be costly due to location determining system like global system for mobile communication and global positioning system that helps in identifying position of the dustbin. However, such solutions may be expensive. [0005] There is a need to overcome above mentioned problem of prior art by bringing a solution that is cost effective to facilitate monitoring of garbage and helps in collection of waste. Also, the solution enables in updating status of the dustbin at regular intervals to authorized locality and helps in preventing the undesirable overflow of dustbins.
