The use of ultrasonic sensor is to detect the
level of waste in the dustbin. This sensor has a
transmitter and receiver. An ultrasonic Figure 3. LCD

The output shaft of the servo can travel
somewhere around 180 degrees. Usually, it is
somewhere in the 210-degree range, however, it varies
depending on the manufacturer. A normal servo is used
to control an angular motion of 0 to 180 degrees.

The PIC microcontroller receives the signal and reads

authorities. VII. CONCLUSION
We have implemented a real - time waste
management system by using smart dustbin containers
to see the fill level of a smart container whether the
dustbin is full or not. In this system, the knowledge of
all smart dustbins is often accessed from anywhere and
anytime with the help of Thing-speak by the priority

system sets itself apart from others by not only
prioritizing waste collection, but also incentivizing
users to keep streets clean by offering attractive prizes.
By implementing this proposed system, the value

smart dustbins is often done.
