Smart Dustbin with Alerts
Fill-level sensing and notify staff.
Project overview
Smart Dustbin with Alerts is a mentor-guided IOT project designed for university submission. Ultrasonic fill-level smart dustbin that notifies municipal or campus staff when bins need emptying. The build uses Arduino, Ultrasonic, GSM/WiFi and is structured so you can explain architecture, modules, and test cases during viva. Typical delivery timeline is 3–4 weeks depending on package and college deadlines.
Best suited for: ECE / CSE students combining sensors, firmware, and dashboards
