E-Recycle Bin: An IoT Based Model for Solid Waste Management

This study focused on developing a Smart Bin Prototype by integrating Internet of Things(IoT) Technology in a Barangay Based Material Recovery Facilities (BBMRF) that is capable of printing a receipts based on the equivalent value of recyclable waste deposited in the bin which is called the e-Recycle Bin. The generated data from the e-Recycle Bin prototype is send in the clouds used by the web application to generate analytical report for monitoring purposes. This research used descriptive method and Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology in developing the e-Recycle Bin prototype. This study explored the used IoT components namely, Rapsberry pi, Arduino Mega, SIM800 GSM Module, Straight Bar Load Sensor, Ultrasonic Sensor, IR Proximity Sensor, 2x4 LCD Monitor, and thermal printer. The IT experts evaluated the project and at overall weighted mean of 4.91 and a qualitative description of Very High Extent of compliance with ISO 25010:2015 Software Quality Requirements. This study sought the implementation of the developed system in the City of Ilagan to help mitigate solid waste problems and encourage waste recycling among the city residents.
