In this video, I present my Smart Solar-Powered Waste Bin with GSM technology, designed to promote cleaner and smarter waste management. This project combines IoT, renewable energy, and automation to make waste disposal more hygienic, efficient, and eco-friendly.
🔧 Key Features of the Smart Bin
Automatic Lid: The lid opens automatically using a servo motor and ultrasonic sensor when a person comes close.
Fullness Detection: A second ultrasonic sensor monitors the waste level inside the bin.
SMS Alerts via GSM: When the bin is full, it automatically sends an SMS notification to the caretaker for timely waste collection.
Solar-Powered: Runs on a solar panel and rechargeable battery, making it eco-friendly and cost-effective.
Hygienic & Contactless: No need to touch the lid — reduces the spread of germs.
