Abstract:
This science investigatory project aimed to produce an automated plastic trash bin with an alcohol dispenser using a PIR motion sensor and Arduino Uno. The objective was to benefit workplaces and schools by promoting sanitation and hygiene. Descriptive statistical techniques were employed to assess the accuracy of the automated trash bin across several parameters, including range, precision, efficiency, amount of waste, and amount of alcohol dispensed. The researchers also used Pearson’s Sample Correlation Coefficient to determine the correlation between the PIR motion sensor’s detection capability and the hand’s distance. They also used T-Test analysis to determine the significant difference between using the automated plastic trash bin and traditional trash bin. The study’s findings revealed that the product is effective and efficient in the detection capability of the PIR motion sensor, effective in the correct operation of the product, efficient to use, and effective in determining the amount of waste that can be stored. It also determined a moderately positive correlation between the distance of the hand and the detection capabilities of the PIR motion sensor. The automated plastic trash bin is more efficient than the traditional trash bin. The T-test results support the conclusion that there is a significant difference between the mean times of the two groups. The researchers recommend employing a bigger servo motor, adjusting the sensitivity of the PIR motion sensor, utilizing a large battery and alcohol dispenser, and using a plastic bag inside the trash bin.
