This document proposes a smart garbage monitoring system using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The system uses an ultrasonic sensor, ESP8266 WiFi module, and Arduino microcontroller to monitor garbage levels in trash cans and send real-time data to ThingSpeak. This allows for optimized garbage collection routes to reduce costs, fuel consumption, and improve cleanliness. The system costs approximately 905 Rs to build and offers benefits like dynamic routing, cost reduction, reduced CO2 emissions, and improved cleanliness.
