Abstract:
As the demand for quality of life increases, the amount of waste generated also increases significantly. However, the earth's resources are limited, resource recycling and reuse are relatively important issues, and the operation of the recycling waste industry has also become an important part. The objective of this study is to propose an integrated garbage management system based on the intelligent Internet of Things. Therefore, this study developed a recyclable garbage sorting system and integrated LoRaWAN communication networks with garbage sorting equipment to create a system that offers automated garbage can operation, environmental monitoring, and graphical monitoring interface. The main academic contribution of this study is the system uses electrostatic capacitance-type proximity sensors to discriminate between the types of garbage deposited in garbage cans. Furthermore, by utilizing an embedded motor and some smart devices it can perform functions such as automatically opening and closing insertion points, sorting waste materials, initiating automated garbage compression, monitoring water levels, and issuing warnings when the water level reaches the threshold. Additionally, this system employs a graphical monitoring interface coded in C# language to remind users of garbage removal.
