An Environmental Waste Management System (EWMS) with feedback SMS alert was developed for the detection, collection, and evacuation of waste. The system uses an embedded system, a smart vehicle with a motion sensor that controls the cover of the waste container, and a laser diode sensor to detect when the cabin is filled. The developed system is a combination of an 8051 microcontroller, which controls other devices such as a laser diode sensor and motion sensor, a liquid crystal display switching board, and a GSM modem. The program was written in assembly language and burned into an AT89C51 microcontroller chip. The circuitry of EWMS consists of many blocks which were put together to make a complete system. These blocks include: a regulated power supply unit, a motion sensing unit, the display unit, the switching unit, and the GSM communication unit. When a human being wants to dispose of refuse, the smart vehicle (motor) that controls the cover of the waste bin with a motion sensor will open the lid of the waste bin for the refuse to be disposed of upon sensing human presence. Then, the laser sensor automatically detects when the waste bin is filled, and sends an SMS alert to the waste management authority through the GSM module for them to come for the disposal of the refuse. The system is intelligent and efficient because of its method of detection and management of waste. Experimental analysis and validations prove that the new system is significantly better than the existing ones since it is automated in all ramifications.
