Abstract: Food is one of the basic necessities of human, I. INTRODUCTION
and there are many people in this world who do not have
enough food for their basic requirements. We often see In the present world, about a billion tons of foods are
many food waste from parties, luxury weddings which getting wasted on a daily basis while the graph of property is
mostly goes waste. Most consider to donate the surplus still skyrocketing [10]. Food is one of the most basic needs
food to the poor or required institution but these do not of our life and the reason why we are working hard should
go as planned as there is no available mechanism to not be wasted. So as tomanage the food that is being wasted

donating surplus food along with a IoT based smart bin as to solve the issue of food being wasted due to surplus
that measures the level of thrown away food in the bin amount we come up with an app that can be used to donate
and send it to the app used by bioplant users. food to people who are in need of the food and the receiver
could utilize our app in order to get the info about the
available food [8]. On the other hand, the food that is being
thrown away are collected in the smart bin which is equipped
with an IoT device that measures the capacity of the bin and
notifies bio plants whether it's filled or not through our same
app [2].

IV. CONCLUSION
Through this paper, we intend to solve the issue of food
being getting wasted inlarge amounts even if there are people
who are in actual need of these. We came up with a bridge
to connect the ones who have food in surplus amounts and
the ones who need the food to fill their stomach. Also, we
help the biogas plant to get their raw material and help them
in producing useful products out of it.
