Waste management remains a major challenge in urban and institutional environments in Indonesia. At the PLN Institute of Technology (IT-PLN), the accumulation of dry waste such as leaves and paper impacts the aesthetics and comfort of campus activities. Previous initiatives such as the development of an automated trash cart with a Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor-based broom have provided solutions, but still have limitations such as the lack of realtime monitoring, one-way movement, and high noise levels. This study proposes the development of an IoT-based solar-powered trash cart system with separate drive systems for sweeping and movement. Key innovations include the integration of two BLDC motors for efficient movement and sweeping, a servo motor for directional control, a camera for real-time remote monitoring, and the addition of a sound dampener. This system uses a NodeMCU ESP8266 as a wireless controller. The study evaluates system performance based on power efficiency, maneuverability, sweeping effectiveness, and system response. This development is expected to optimize waste management in the campus environment, improve operational efficiency, and encourage the adoption of IoT-based environmental technologies. The use of two separate BLDC motors for the wheels and broom blades improves operational efficiency and sweeping performance, especially at high speeds. The integration of the NodeMCU ESP8266, servo motors, and the Blynk app enables real-time directional control, despite a small but still reasonable latency. The ESP32- CAM provides a stable live streaming display up to 60–80 meters away, supporting remote control and monitoring in a centralized IoT system. The system is proven to be energy-efficient, effective in sweeping various types of dry waste, and has a modular design and adaptive controls suitable for use in campuses and public spaces.
