Abstract—This paper describe the design and development of
a system to detect the level of recyclable waste in a smart recycle
bin and then send notification signals including the locations
coordinate to assist the authority to collect and empty the bin. At
present, the current system does not provide a notification
system mechanism to inform the waste authority that the recycle
bin is full and need to be collected. Therefore, an automatic
notification system is proposed as to reduce and optimize the
collection time. This could also assist the waste collector to
re-schedule the collection time and place depending on the
regularity of the signal received. This could also reduce the
manual collection process which require time and cost of labor.
The development of the system involved the use of GSM module
to enable the SMS text notification system and some software to
manage all the notification received from the bin.
Index Terms—Smart recycle bin, global system for mobile,
waste management, global positioning system.
