Abstract: Dustbin Monitoring System is an automatic system, a new advancement in technology that can be used by all levels of society, particularly for people with disabilities. In this research, an automatic waste bin was designed and constructed using a series of components and electronics units such as Arduino circuit board, sensors and relays of different types and was programmed using C++. The system will notify the user when the fill level is reached to make cleanup or garbage collection. The system was designed with two ultrasonic sensors, one buzzer, LEDs, an Arduino microcontroller and a servo motor. This was achieved by placing one of the ultrasonic sensors in front of the trash can which measures the distance between the dustbin and the user, at the required distance (10m) the dustbin will open and close when the user walks in front and away from the dustbin while; the other ultrasonic sensor is placed at the base of the cover to buzz the buzzer and switches on the LED’s when the fill level is reached. Interfacing of components and coding of the microcontroller was also implemented due to the purpose of the system.
