Biobin For Safe Handling And Disposing Of Biomedical Waste During Covid ’19

Objective:

            Aim of the project is to build a movable smart dustbin to help COVID affected patients which can be controlled by android application.

Abstract:

          The world’s most populous country is India which faces a major problem in waste management. In India, smart city concept is still new, even though it has received a lot of attention in few years. A society can dispose the waste properly only when dustbins are placed and collected well. Waste collection and sorting is the main advantage of trash management. The major issues in the trash management are bin gets overflowed. This can create to a bad odor which may cause diseases badly. Waste collection, handling and management have been a hazardous task to the sanitary workers in this pandemic era. Various methods have been followed and introduced to handle this biomedical waste. It includes recycling, incineration, reduction and separation at the source. To avoid the spread of covid-19 virus and to help covid-19 affected patients we proposed a smart dustbin system. This smart dustbin is equipped with smart micro controller, level sensing unit, line following sensor unit, network connectivity and wheels. An android application is used to control the movement of dustbin in any direction.

            The proposed model can help the COVID affected patients to dispose the waste from their room to outside. It can eliminate the requirement of another person and will avoid the further spread of covid-19 virus.

Proposed System:

          The proposed smart bin can be move around the surroundings according to user inputs and can also indicate its level. The smart bin can be controlled by android application via BLE sensor and it sends the overflow status to the cloud database. It will reduce the waste management process and avoid the unnecessary entry of employee to quarantine region.
