Design Optimization of Smart Community Waste Bins with Sensor-Based Monitoring and Mechanical Loading Systems

Abstract

This study presents the design optimization of smart community waste bins integrating sensor-based monitoring and mechanical loading systems. The research combines civil engineering planning with mechanical design to improve waste collection efficiency and environmental performance. The proposed system enhances bin utilization, reduces collection frequency, and improves operational reliability. A hybrid approach is adopted, where physical bin design is supported by low-power sensing technologies to enable data-driven decision-making.
