Learn MoreIn this modern world one of the biggest problems we face is waste control. As the population grows, so too does the waste being produced by humans. Our company is proposing to add a sensor to commercial garbage bins to detect when bins are full and thus trigger waste collection. This project will aim to identify the best sensor to use in a commercial garbage bin and will propose adding network technology to create a “smart” system. Sensor framework design and selection will be researched by this undergraduate team.
