Problem

The current system for waste management includes numerous stages with tremendous man-power. Every time laborers have to visit the garbage bins in the city area to check whether they are filled or not. If garbage bins are not filled, then the man-power invested goes in vain.

Solution

To overcome this type of problems we proposed a system in which we are monitoring the level of the garbage bins and send the notification once the garbage bin is about to fill. This will drastically reduce the wastage of man-power and would enable us to collect garbage only from those places that are about to overflow.

Ciscosat Simulation

As a Minimum Viable Product, we created four different prototypes to show the potentials of the main features of our system:

• The Ciscosat Truck App for monitoring the garbage levels of bins and for
  providing the best routes to optimize time and fuel consumption and reduce the waste of money.
• The Bin interface for the screen which recognizes the citizen with the analysis of the waste generated and the level in the ranking which rewards the most efficient and respectful people.
• The 3D representation of the Ciscosat with the solar panels in it to receive energy from the sun and the screen to interact with.
• The working prototype of the Ciscosat which features voice recognition, direct suggestions and garbage level monitoring.

Ciscosat Truck App

The app is built-in each device which will be connected to trucks sensors to receive real-time information and show them in the system or send them to the control center or to other trucks.

It has four different sections:

1. Overview to receive information about the weather conditions, the
   consumption of the truck, the progress of the collection and additional reminders about events, road closed or truck maintenance.
2. Route to choose the daily way of the truck depending on garbage level of each bin (with three different colors green-50% full; yellow 50–75% full; red-75% full), the distance, the full consumption and the other trucks paths.
3. Alerts to have a list of all the traffic, accidents, events or closed streets in the area.
4. Search for advanced search of a specific bin, area, neighbor or truck.
5. We focused on the second section to provide a depth view of the route optimization, one of the core features of our product.

2. Cost

• Wheelie bins prices vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer. There is not a great deal of difference in cost between retailers, so a standard 240 liter wheelie bin should cost included to India mainland. As the bins are quite large the delivery cost is quite high and most bin sellers absorb this into the price of their bins.
• If you are looking for more then one bin that is where savings can be made as the cost per bin can drop.
• If you are buying more then one bin it’s a good idea to see if there are any discounts available.

4. Environmental Considerations

• Garbage, though unseen, can have real impacts on the environment when it is not properly disposed of.
• Chemicals contaminating soil. When waste ends up at the landfill, chemicals in the trash can leech out into the soil, contaminating it.
• Surface water. Chemicals don’t just run from garbage into the soil.
• Air pollution.

5. Function

• A waste container is a container for temporarily storing waste, and is usually made out of metal or plastic.
• A lot of attention is paid to the furniture pieces, furnishings, color palette, Et cetera and there is one item that is often neglected in nearly every single corner — DUSTBIN.
• Bathroom dustbin — small, simple, and preferably covered. The material of the dustbin should can withstand humidity and water splashes.
• For the office area or the living room, dustbins have come a long way. All sorts of modern materials are being used to produce dustbins for the living room and the office as the trash in these rooms is low.
• Outdoor dustbin is usually used to throw dry leaves, trimmed branches, dust, Et cetera.

6. Manufacturing

• Manufacturer of a wide range of products which include plastic recycle dustbin, 45 liter plastic dustbin, industrial plastic dustbin, 10 foot operated dustbin, 15 foot operated dustbin and 25 road side single dustbins.
• We are recognized as the prominent manufacturer and supplier of a wide collection of 45 liter Plastic Dustbin. Moreover, offered dustbin used in various places and is manufactured using superior grade raw materials and cutting — Edge Technology. To meet the set industry quality standard, offered dustbin is tested by our experts on pre-defined quality parameters. Clients can avail this dustbin from us at lucrative rates.

7. Materials

Recycling bin (Blue lid)

• Clean paper and cardboard (newspapers, magazines, junk mail, envelopes, egg cartons, cardboard boxes — flattened).

• Juice and milk cartons.

• Glass bottles and jars.

• Aluminum/steel cans and lids.

• Aerosol cans (empty).

Organics bin (Green lid)

• Small pruning’s and cuttings.

• Lawn clippings.

• Leaves.

• Weeds.

• Shredded paper (mix the shredded paper with your garden and food waste or damp it down so it

does not blow down the street when the bin is emptied).

• Paper towel and tissues.

Waste bin (Red lid)

• Soft plastics (e.g. plastic wrap, cling film, newspaper sleeves, plastic bags, bin liners). Juice and

milk cartons.

• Nappies.

• Garden hoses. Aerosol cans (empty).

• Bubble wrap and plastic strapping.

• Garden hoses.

• Clothing and rags.

8. Safety

• We generate trash and garbage every day which requires attention on a regular basis to maintain cleanliness, safety and a healthy environment.
• Dustbins are an important factor for both human health and environmental development. Hence,choosing the right garbage bin and using it responsibly can benefit the ecosystem.
• Having the proper trash cans and garbage cans can lead to successful and basis to maintain cleanliness, safety and health in the workplace or home.
• This means that used syringes, blood bags, used paper products etc.

9. Size

• Size Chart For Typical Standard Wheelie Bins From 80 to 1100 Litres.

• With a wide range of bins to choose from it can be a confusing time. Before you take the plunge and go ahead and make a purchase there are a few things to take into consideration before you go ahead and get a new bin. If your council only collects every 4 weeks you will need a bigger bin then if your council collects every week.

IoT Devices

1. Node MCU

• I would like to know lifetime expectancy of ESP-WROOM-32 Module. By lifetime expectancy I mean the amount of duration before ESP-WROOM-32 Module goes nonfunctional.
• In theory, there’s nothing that wears down in the ESP32 itself. However, the flash chip in a module can lose its information over time. For instance, the GD25Q32 we use in our modules guarantees a flash lifetime of 20 years, minimum. The other thing that can wear down the flash is repeated erase cycles. Normally this shouldn’t be an issue, but if you rewrite the flash often (either directly or indirectly through spiffs/nvs/fatfs/…) this may be an issue.

2. Raspberry pi

• Estimated lifespan of the Pi 1B was around 30–35 years running without over clock and 25–30 years with over clock. The faster CPUs on the 2B and 3B may reduce that a bit.  Here over clock means it run (the processor of one’s computer) at a speed higher than that intended by the manufacturers.
• I have ran it for full one month without any pause, still its working fine therefore it is pretty much durable and can run smoothly considering the power supply is uninterrupted.
• It is a rugged board for using this in a project for a long time.

3. Ultrasonic sensor

• Ultrasonic sensor can work properly from -25° C to +70° C.

4. Cisco Access Point

• Cisco access points and wireless controllers to match your Wi-Fi requirements. Answer a few basic questions and our selector tool will assist you with your choice. With increased mobility and an explosion of IoT devices , network security and speed expectations have never been greater. Cisco access points and smart controllers have innovation in radio frequency for high-density environments when following wireless standards 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) and 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5).
• Explore our access points, wireless controllers, and software-based APs to find products for almost any large or small deployment. Looking for wireless device styles other than this? In the Cisco Wireless segment read more about our portfolio.

Flow work in project

We proposed prototype solution garbage management in that a dustbin has ultrasonic sensor on top of it.

• Sensor acquires distance, based on it system will calculate how much dustbin is filled with garbage at that moment. Output of ultrasonic sensor will decide how much the dustbin has been filled.
• From ultrasonic sensor Node MCU will get the distance.
• The wireless access point is connected with raspberry pi. Raspberry Pi send collected information from Cisco wireless point to cloud through internet.
• Proposed system has mobile and android application connected to cloud.
• From the cloud concern municipality employee can get information in mobile application.
