Abstract

The development of Internet of Things (IoT) nowadays is essential to better electronics and electrical appliances usage.

This project will develop a system that can detect the level inside of the trash that can alert users. The ultrasonic sensor in the Trash Can will detect the distance of the trash inside the    trashcan when the trash reaches the threshold value. The NodeMCU which is the ESP8266 controls the system which can link to any cloud platform and in this project, it is connected to the Telegram Messenger application. Users will be able to receive notifications on their smartphones or computers as Telegram can be accessed in all platforms.  In conclusion the uses of Smart Trash Can using IoT system helps reducing time to manage trash disposing in a hectic schedule faced by everyone
