MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541125575 A) filed by Sri Sai Ram Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 12, 2025, for 'ecobin: iot -driven smart waste management system.'
Inventor(s) include Seshagiri R; Arun Nivetan R S; Jegatheesh J V; Rohan AS; and Rathnavel P.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to an loT-enabled smart waste management system providing a bin-mounted module for real-time assessment of refuse level, weight, and moisture to optimize collection operations. It addresses inefficiencies of schedule-based collection and manual inspection that cause overtlow. and redundant trips. The system integrates capacitive and proximity sensors for level detection, a moisture sensor for wet/dry classification, and a load cell with HX711 for weight measurement, all managed by an ESP32-WROOM-32 microcontroller. Telemetry is transmitted via a SIM800L GSM link to a cloud platform for time-series logging, dashboard visualization, and threshold-based alerts. When preset limits are exceeded, Q) .The solution minimizes overflow risk, enables -~ dynamic routing, and reduces operational costs, making it E suitable for municipal, institutional, industrial, and 0 ~ commercial waste management applications."
