This section shall highlight the methods intended to be employed in this study.
This project draws from both local hardware stores and online resources to gather
a diverse array of components. Among these are two trash bins, a solar panel, a solar
charge controller, an Arduino MEGA, 2 ESP32 Wi-Fi modules, 18650 Li-Ion batteries, a
servo motor (SG90 MG90S), an LED light, a relay module, ESP32 cam, and a variety of
resistor, and photoresistor. Furthermore, tools such as wire strippers and laptops as well
as square metal tubing, and plywood for the main frame, will be gathered and utilized in
components, enhancing the trash bins firmware. Servo motors and ultrasound sensors will
be complexity woven into the opening and closing mechanism. The firmware will feature
a raised layer to house the ultrasound sensor and photoresistor, while LED lights will be
strategically positioned in front of the LDR. The solar panel, a pivotal component, will be
securely mounted on the Binbot's roof. Moreover, the inclusion of two removable
containers, accessible from the side of the house within the lower part of the box, will
enhance the bin's functionality. These sensors will be meticulously connected to the
programming language. Drawing from the expertise of Robotics professionals, the project
aims to master the intricacies of the Arduino IDE Software. Proficiency in two

cans, the project involves rigorous testing using samples of different types of plastic and
paper. Researchers will meticulously conduct these tests, recording their observations
using a non-linear descriptive method. This approach will comprehensively capture the
consideration and safety precautions. One primary concern is the potential for physical
injury due to moving parts or sharp objects, highlighting the importance of cautious
handling. Additionally, there are electrical hazards associated with wiring and power
sources, emphasizing the need for proper management to prevent accidents. For projects
reliant on software, the risk of data loss or corruption exists, underscoring the importance
it's crucial to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety
glasses, and lab coats to minimize the risk of injury. Proper training in the safe operation
of equipment is essential for the team members. Conducting a thorough risk assessment is
vital to identify potential hazards and develop effective mitigation plans. Adhering to
electrical safety practices, including using surge protectors or circuit breakers, can
significantly reduce the associated risks and create a safer working environment.
