An ESP32 microcontroller functions as the central control unit, processing sensor data and enabling wireless communication through IoT connectivity. The dustbin supports contactless operation through voice commands and a mobile application, wherein servo motors automatically open and close the respective lids. A smoke sensor is integrated to detect fire or hazardous gases and to generate immediate local and remote safety alerts. The system is powered by a solar-based charging arrangement with a rechargeable battery, enabling autonomous operation without reliance on external power sources."
