Abstract:-The main cause of the disease that affects the III. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
human health is due to improper cleaning of waste which
provides unhygienic conditions. By cleaning the waste
properly, we can avoid the maximum causes of disease
[1]. This is so because the waste which gets dumped over
a long period of time leads to a multiplication of germs of
various kinds. These germs, in turn, produce bad gases
while decomposing the waste. Each kind of germs causes
certain diseases. When cleaning of the waste is done in a
proper manner, one half of spreading diseases can be
avoided. This paper is based on smart-bin which detects
the emission of gas inside it. Here, the gas sensors which
are connected to Arduino is placed inside the bin.
Whenever the sensor detects gas emission GSM module
connected with Arduino sends an alert message to the
specified user. [5]

KeywordsGas Sensor; GSM Module.

In order to detect an odour from garbage, it is important to


know the gases emitted from garbage. The main gases IV. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP AND TESTING
emitted from garbage are Methane (fruit peels, decomposing TECHNIQUE
organic matter), Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen, Oxygen,
Ammonia (spoiled meat, leaves), Sulphides (rotten egg), The experimental setup consists of the garbage can with

The values in former and last cases differ from sensor to
sensor.

Thus, the inherent values of a particular sensor are noted and


the program is made in such a way that whenever the output
resistance value of the sensor exceeds the set value the
integrated GSM module sends an alert message to the
specified user.

V. SELECTION OF SENSING ELEMENT

The selection of sensing element is vital because there are


numerous things used as a sensor. Gas sensors like MQ-135,
MQ-7 are preferred for this kind of application. Even though
these gas sensors detect any type of gas emission and suffer
from cross-sensitivity. It can be converted as an advantage
here because gas detection is more important than the type
of gas detected at domestic level.

VI. FUTURE SCOPE

Data logging for future analysis and air quality


prediction.
Pollution monitoring in roads.
Wearable sensor to detect the level of gas exposure of
an individual.
To detect dead rat in grain stored area.

VII. CONCLUSION

The smart bin is a step towards the smart city and important
thing in the idea of smart buildings. The alternatives can be
in place of Arduino as PIC, sensors like ultrasonic sensors
for level detecting can be added advantage, and for
communication, ZigBee can be used instead of GSM
module. Introducing the concept of IoT can also be very
helpful in monitoring the garbage status.
