India has perceived an enormous upsurge in garbage during 21st century due to adopting urbanization rapidly. In addition, as the population increasing drastically, which inherently produce huge amount of garbage. The overflow of the garbage and lack of maintenance are the main reasons for many diseases and also for spoiling earth environment. However, the entire world has faced the problems due to spreading of Covid-19 through the air due to the hazard waste is being generated in specific Covid hospitals, quarantine zones are directly dumped into the dustbins. The frontline warriors (doctor, nurse, police) working in these unorganized dustbin environments are getting infected with Covid-19 and are became a primary contact for spreading of virus. Thus, it is very much essential to implement a systematized and well-designed mechanism to overcome this problem. In this work, a hardware prototype for smart dustbin based on Arduino has been proposed that can be installed in hospitals, medical centres, municipalities, households for the sake of environment as well as front-line workers. The proposed model of smart dustbin has PIR sensor and ultrasonic sensor for human motion detection and sense the level of garbage present in the bin respectively. An alert system based on GSM has been interfaced with Arduino which sends the alert messages based on level of the garbage at regular intervals. The proposed model work with very low power and increase the security for front-line workers from the Covid-19.
