This project involves the creation and development of a tool designed to establish a cleaning service in a specific location. The resulting product is Smart Trash. Trash cans are essential for maintaining cleanliness, providing a designated space for people to discard waste materials. The absence of such receptacles leads to littering, detracting from the appeal of areas and discouraging visitors. Maintaining cleanliness is crucial in tourist destinations to ensure the comfort of residents, tourists, area owners, and government stakeholders. This project utilizes a microcontroller integrated with various sensors including ultrasonic, motion, and infrared sensors. These sensors are programmed using integrated circuitry to enable the Smart Trash to move and halt, allowing users time to dispose of trash. Additionally, the system detects the trash level within the Smart Trash. The stopping mechanism relies on a motion sensor, pausing when it detects hand movement in the designated area atop the Smart Trash. Overall, this project aims to enhance user convenience and cleanliness in tourist areas. 7 paperASIA 40 (5b): 2024 COMPENDIUM by paperASIA Robotic Trash Cans (Smart Trash) at Tourist Facilities Normah Zakaria*, Muhammad Faizul Amir Abd Rahim, Arihasnida Ariffin, Norhasyimah Hamzah, Siti Nur Kamariah Rubani, Tamil Selvan Subramaniam Faculty of Technical and Vocational Education (FPTV), Universiti Tun Hussein Onn (UTHM), 86400 Parit Raja, Johor Malaysia *Corresponding author email: norma@uthm.edu.my ABSTRACT This project involves the creation and development of a tool designed to establish a cleaning service in a specific location. The resulting product is Smart Trash. Trash cans are essential for maintaining cleanliness, providing a designated space for people to discard waste materials. The absence of such receptacles leads to littering, detracting from the appeal of areas and discouraging visitors. Maintaining cleanliness is crucial in tourist destinations to ensure the comfort of residents, tourists, area owners, and government stakeholders.

These sensors are programmed using integrated circuitry to enable the Smart Trash to move and halt, allowing users time to dispose of trash. It is true that worship must be clean to be legitimate. Keeping places clean is crucial, particularly in tourist destinations where having movable trash cans adds to their allure (Arduino Uno, 2023). Mobile trash cans are useful in places like theme parks, parks, and level surfaces, where they can move around easily on level ground. Conventional garbage cans have a well-known function in communities: they hold garbage and food waste (Arif, 2021). Nevertheless, these containers can easily fill up and overflow, spilling waste onto the floor, if they are left unattended. Such incidents degrade the attractiveness of tourist locations and produce offensive smells, which may deter tourists. With the speed at which information travels in today's linked world, travellers can express their opinions about their travel experiences via blogs, YouTube, social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, and other applications. As a result, shared experiences can shape community attitudes towards hygienic standards in the surrounding areas, which can affect both locals and visitors from other countries (Aznie, Rose, Nizam & Abidin, 2018) A trash can is a container that is made of plastic, metal, paperASIA 40 (5b): 2024 8 COMPENDIUM by paperASIA or iron and is used to store rubbish temporarily. Items that have been used and are no longer needed are categorized by humans as waste (Bolanakis,2019). Garbage cans are a common sight in our surroundings. To improve the quality of the environment, communities can establish the cultural norm of encouraging regular rubbish bin usage (Utusan Borneo,2018). To keep things clean, all rubbish must go into the trash can. Garbage is divided into two main types, according to (Bere, Mahmudi & Panji (2021): organic trash and inorganic waste. Vegetables, dry leaves, and food scraps are examples of easily decomposable elements found in organic waste. On the other hand, non-biodegradable materials including paper, plastic toys, bottles, wooden objects, and food packaging made of plastic are included in inorganic trash. This work integrates sensors and alarms managed by a microcontroller to bring intelligent innovation to trash cans (Deny, 2022). The term "tourism area" refers to a specific region distinguished by unique characteristics that appeal to tourists. These attributes may include natural beauty, historical significance, or cultural attractions that offer a variety of experiences (Fresco, 2021). The collected data undergoes thorough examination and comparison, enabling researchers to determine the accuracy of the sensors and functionality employed or identify areas necessitating improvement. Additionally, testing is conducted to assess the suitability and integrity of the components used. All testing procedures are conducted in accordance with the project's scope of work. 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The researcher's Smart Trash prototype in the tourist area is depicted in Figure 2 . The Smart Trash Bin instruction book is displayed in Figure 3 . Researchers use ultrasonic sensors as electronic detectors to determine how much trash is in Smart Trash. The proportion of waste fill is shown on an LCD panel that is connected to these sensors. This function allows users to be more convenient by allowing them to determine whether the Smart Trash is full. When the trash can is filled, it stops collecting trash and might even go to a special cleaning facility to dispose of waste. This concept also includes a pilot bulb that serves as an indicator to help users through the cleaning or waste collecting procedures.
