Managing waste and keeping public areas clean are big problems in many developing regions where people still use regular trash bins. Handling the lid of a trash bin by hand can spread germs, cause bad smells, and make places less clean. This study introduces a low-cost, easy-to-make smart trash bin system that uses an Arduino microcontroller. The system uses an ultrasonic sensor to sense when someone's hand or object is near the bin and automatically opens the lid with a motor. It also has an infrared sensor that checks how full the bin is and stops the system from working when it's full. The system is built with affordable and easy-to-find parts like an ESP 32, HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, L298N motor driver, DC gear motor, and a buzzer. The goal is to create a touch-free, clean way to dispose of waste that works in homes, offices, and public areas. The prototype works well, detecting objects, controlling the lid automatically, and runs efficiently. This project shows how simple technology can improve sanitation and help create better waste management systems in the future.
