Abstract: One of the main concerns with our environment has been solid waste management which in addition to disturbing the balance of the environment also has adverse effects on the health of the society. The detection, monitoring and management of wastes is one of the primary problems of the present era. The traditional way of manually monitoring the wastes in waste bins is a complex, cumbersome process and utilizes more human effort, time and cost which is not compatible with the present day technologies in any way. This paper proposes an advanced method in which waste management is automated. Sensor based system is one of the most promising and anticipated technologies in recent years. The system makes use of IR sensor and GSM support. This work presented here certainly provides a novel approach in handling and disposing off the day to day solid wastes in an efficient and easy way. The system consists Metal Casing, Compressing mechanism, Sensors, Transmitter, Power source and Smart Monitoring and Controlling system using GSM. The proposed system would be able to automate the waste monitoring process and management of the overall collection process. The technologies that would be used in the proposed system are good enough to ensure the practical and perfect for solid waste collection process monitoring and management for green environment.
