MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049913 A) filed by Cvr College Of Engineering, Hyderabad, Telangana, on April 20, for 'real-time iot applications for controlling waste disposal in smart city applications with integrated garbage bins.'
Inventor(s) include Mulagundla Sridevi; and Y. Sowmya Reddy.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Smart trash cans are required in smart cities. The whole IoT-based trash can is intended to streamline the process and monitor it effectively in order to assess various environmental conditions and stabilise the environment. For a healthier lifestyle in this world, environmental cleanliness is crucial. The conventional method of keeping track of waste in strategically positioned trash cans is highly time-consuming,labour-intensive,and ineffective.The amount of waste produced in cities increased as a consequence of the expanding human population. Real-time IoT devices are used to send information to the sanitary authority on the state of garbage. These IoT notifies and identifies the cleaners if there is any excessive garbage in the trash can. When a motion is detected, an automated motion detector raises the garbage can's lid, which then automatically opens. The smart trash correctly distinguishes between liquid and solid waste."
