This is my invention, called the CleanCity Project.
Problem Statement:
The main problems witnessed in accordance with Waste Mismanagement:
1. Overflowing bins create a disturbance for citizens.
2. All bins are generally collected 4 times a day.
3. Only high traffic areas bins were full enough for such high collection frequency.
4. The growing rodent population in the Districts is causing concern related to health and safety of its population & tourists.
5. Waste is inappropriately thrown away by local businesses and residents; main source of food for rodents.
6. Bins in high traffic areas becoming full quickly.
7. Frequent bin emptying during store operations.
8. Interfering with customers’ shopping experiences due to inefficient waste management in busier destinations. This problem set refers to the problems caused by the spillage and overflowing of waste, thereby creating a lot of nuisance, diseases and creating an unhygienic environment around the point where garbage is arbitrarily littered. We are trying to solve the issues pertaining to the same.
Solution:
CleanCity's strength lies in the compaction of waste generated in high volume areas, such as city centers, malls, parks, and tourist attractions, where rubbish generated is susceptible to overflow and requires frequent collection. Clean CAP complements CleanCity by covering areas that may not be collected as frequently, making the remote fill-level monitoring of containers easy. It is all made possible by utilizing our sensor device that essentially allows the user to find out how much waste is generated and predict when the collection is needed. CleanCity is a smart solar-powered trash compactor bin. It is equipped with sensors that send and receive real-time data to CCN(CleanCity Networking) monitoring platform. CCN sends and receives real-time data from sensor devices on the ground. The network transforms the data into actionable information usable by waste collection managers. A clean CAP is a wireless ultrasonic fill-level sensor that securely monitors a container's fill-level. It sends and receives information in real-time to CCN(CleanCity Network) monitoring platform.
Innovation:
The CleanCity Technology would be facilitating in the following way:
Dynamic routing: The solution optimizes waste collection routes and schedules based on real-time and historical data, provides predictive analytics to enable decision making ahead of time, and offers consultation on waste bin allocations.
Cost reduction: Our smart waste logistics solution reduces waste collection frequency dramatically, which enables you to save on fuel, labor, and fleet maintenance costs. Altogether the solution can reduce your operational costs by up to 80%.
Improved cleanliness: In densely populated areas, a rapid waste generation often leads to overflowing waste bins and unsightly streets. Our solution enables waste collection staff to read fill-levels in real time and receive notifications of waste overflows.
CO2 reduction: Collecting garbage is a very pollutant heavy proposition. Our solution offers you the means to have fewer trucks on the road for less time, which means less greenhouse gas emissions, less noise pollution, and less road wear.
One of the main reasons why any city or organization would install solar trash cans is that they reduce the frequency of waste collections and dispatches dramatically. This is because a solar trash can is capable of triggering an automatic compaction of waste, effectively increasing the bin's capacity by 5-8 times. This means that you will be able to fill 500-800 liters of waste in a 100-liter bin, and effectively move from daily collections to weekly collections.
