Two young girls Avilasha and Chadu Priyaof eighth class from APSWRS Junior College for Girls, West Godavari, Andhra Pradesh. As young kids they observed how even though people throw dust in dustbins, the dustbins tend to overflow and also no
proper information is provided to municipal authorities about the dust levels.

As per the report by National Green Tribunal (NGT), “Barely 1,000 TPD of solid waste was being managed by all the urban local bodies as against the generated 6,400 TPD in the state of Andhra Pradesh.”

The girls of APSWR School, West Godavari in Andhra Pradesh interacted with school students and people in their community. They came up with multi-level indication to give predictions to possible overflow of dustbins to municipality people and also people who are throwing dust. This they were able to achieve leveraging the technologies like IoT and electronics.

To further refine their prototype, the team worked on improving the level detection of waste and to sense the intensity of the odour for providing recommendations based on the intensity of the odour.

The girls further wish to develop their project by integrating it with a web server which can be accessed by municipality people to see the heat map of dustbins to take steps to remove the dust in dustbins.
