The Automated trash collector is a normal dustbin modified with the help of an embedded system which collects trash and traces its path back to the starting point. Also, it monitors the garbage level all the time and gives information. If the threshold level is reached, a warning message is sent to the concerned authority via SMS. The trash collector finds its path to the desired location using the Infrared sensor and the whole setup is connected to RF transceiver. The ultimate aim is that people need not carry the trash and search for bins. Instead, the bin comes to the user’s location. A switch and IR sensor are fitted in a cabin. When the user presses the switch, a signal is transmitted via the RF transmitter to a receiver placed in the bin. This signal triggers the motor to start and the robot moves towards the desired cabin along the line. When the robot moves towards the cabin, the IR sensor in the cabin detects the robot and sends a Stop signal to the robot through PAN. Now the robot checks if the switch is ON or OFF.If the switch is ON, it stops else it passes through and goes to the next cabin. After collecting the garbage it goes to the starting point and stops. The above-depicted model of smart trash is cost effective and can be implemented in malls, airports, schools and colleges.
