 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Cities are places for people to provide services, trade and carry out activities. On the one
hand, the city provides opportunities to obtain employment opportunities. However, on the
other hand, cities also produce various problems such as limited energy, congestion, health,
waste and crime. One of the problems that often occurs in urban areas is a damaged
environment.

The urban environment is very vulnerable to various types of damage. Like rubbish that is
scattered everywhere and rivers that are dirty due to careless dumping of rubbish. This can
cause various problems such as flooding. One effort to improve the quality of the urban
environment is the Smart Environment concept. The Smart Environment concept is one of 6
Smart City indicators, namely Smart Governance, Smart Economy, Smart People, Smart
Mobility and Smart Living.

Waste is one of the complex problems faced by both developing and developed countries
in the world. The waste problem is a common problem and has become a universal
phenomenon in various parts of the world, including being a problem in big cities in
Indonesia. The waste problem will become more serious if appropriate treatment is not
implemented immediately. The lack of public attention to sanitation still leads to the problem
of garbage remaining a serious issue for the government. If the garbage is still scattered and
poorly managed then the impact returns to the environment itself. The rotten smell caused by
the dump and improper management can be a source of disease transmission as well as the
blockage of drainage and river canals are some of the consequences of the lack of public
awareness of environmental hygiene. Then the role of the community is essential to create a
clean and healthy environment.

A clean environment is a blessing to society.Many are aware and many are not aware of
the hygiene of the surrounding environment. It can be reflected like there's still a lot of
garbage on the streets and also in the city parks. The garbage that was provided by the
sanitary agency was just a decoration on the street. Per this is also a factor in the fact that
there are still people who are lazy to dispose of garbage. Increasing awareness of
environmental hygiene, requires a unique approach so that each individual is interested in
disposing of trash in its place. Smart Trash can be designed to attract the attention of
individuals with its smartphone-based technology.

1.2 Objectives

1) Develop a user-friendly and cost-effective smart trash can prototype using Arduino.
2) Implement sensors to detect trash level, proximity, and potentially type (optional).
3) Integrate features like:
1. LED indicators for fill level and sorting guidance.
2. Buzzer alerts for full bins or incorrect sorting.
3. Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity for data transmission (optional).
4. Solar panel integration for sustainable power (optional).
4) Conduct testing and refine the design based on user feedback.

1.3 Benefits

The researchers hope to provide government input in improving the quality of an

environmentally sound, clean and controlled urban community. The measure is less
garbage in a neighborhood like parks and streets.
1) For Academics :
Can provide a useful reference to the academic world in particular in the research
carried out by the forthcoming parapenists in terms of the development of the Android
operating system using Arduino UNO.
2) For Users :
With the system, the community environment will be cleaner, because the system
notify the sanitary officers to transport garbage to the already filled trash.
 CHAPTER II
THEORYTICAL BASIS

The theoretical foundation for an automatic trash bin with Arduino involves concepts
such as sensors, microcontrollers, and motors. Sensors like ultrasonic sensors can be used to
detect the trash level, while Arduino microcontrollers can process this information. Servo
motors or DC motors can be integrated to automatically move the trash bin lid. Additionally,
programming using languages like Arduino IDE is required to control these functions.

2.1 Trash Can

Trash bins are specially designed containers or areas for collecting, storing, and
managing waste. The purpose of trash bins is to reduce environmental pollution by
facilitating the regular and efficient collection of garbage. Trash bins can take the form of
public bins in common areas, household trash bins, or large containers at waste collection
points. The proper selection and management of trash bins are crucial steps in maintaining
cleanliness and environmental health.

2.2 Arduino
Arduino is an open-source, single-board microcontroller designed to facilitate
electronic use in various fields. Derived from the Wiring platform, it features an Atmel
AVR processor, and its software has its own programming language. Arduino is currently
widely popular worldwide, with many beginners learning robotics and electronics through
it due to its ease of use. However, it's not only beginners – hobbyists and professionals
alike enjoy developing electronic applications using Arduino. The language used in
Arduino is not the relatively complex assembler but rather simplified C language with the
assistance of Arduino libraries. Arduino also simplifies the process of working with
microcontrollers.

2.3 Technology
Technology refers to the application of science and skills to create tools, devices, and
systems that are beneficial to humans. Its goal is to enhance efficiency, comfort, and
human capabilities in various fields. Technological development involves innovation,
research, and the application of knowledge to create new solutions. With the continuous
 advancement of technology, its impact involves changes in how we communicate, work,
and live on a daily basis.

2.4 Automatic
Automation is the application of technology to control and operate a process or
system without direct human intervention. Its goal is to enhance efficiency, speed, and
accuracy in performing specific tasks. Automation can be found in various fields, ranging
from industry and manufacturing to households. The implementation of automation often
results in time and resource savings, and it can improve the quality and consistency of
work outcomes.
