STTS: IoT-based Smart Trash Tracking System for Dumpsters Monitoring using Web Technology

Waste management is one of the main problems being faced by our society. The dumpsters that usually overflow prior to the scheduled cleaning time becomes the common problem as it might trigger other unwanted problems such as bad odor, clogged drains, and various diseases. To prevent such malicious effects, the IoT-based dumpster management system has been developed. This paper in turn aims to propose a smart monitoring system installed on a dumpster. The device will send signals to the web server. The verified signals from each dumpster announce the operators that the waste has to be cleaned. The system is accessible through the web interface and alternatively through the Android-based devices. It is expected that the developed system is able to to provide an easier waste management system for society.
