Abstract
This research provides a low-cost design for an intelligent waste container for small-scale applications. The solution uses an Arduino UNO board and an ultrasonic sensor to monitor the container's fullness level and send notification alerts via the Blynk application. In order to become a smart city, the government provides different trash cans so that people can dispose of trash according to the type of garbage, and waste can be readily recycled. However, some people do not understand which bins they must use to dispose of their waste, so they simply toss it in any bin without considering the type of waste. The goal of this research is to develop a trash can that can detect the type of waste dumped and autonomously dispose of it in the appropriate bin. The study employs device design, device fabrication, data retrieval, and data analysis as research methods. As a result of the study's findings, a smart garbage can prototype that can be applied in a smart city can be created based on Arduino and Android. This prototype can eventually be used to educate youngsters about the different types of waste from an early age.
