Abstract: – River water pollution, particularly from floating debris such as plastics, poses a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and public health. This paper presents a river water trash collector system that integrates Bluetooth technology and software for real- time monitoring and autonomous waste collection. The system consists of a floating collection device equipped with Bluetooth-enabled sensors and actuators, allowing it to autonomously detect and capture floating debris while communicating with a central control unit. The software platform allows remote monitoring, status updates, and real-time data collection via a user-friendly interface, providing valuable insights into waste types, quantities, and collection efficiency. The Bluetooth technology enables seamless communication between multiple collectors deployed in different river locations, facilitating coordinated waste collection efforts. Field tests conducted in various river environments demonstrate the effectiveness of the system in reducing floating debris, improving water quality, and offering scalability for large-scale implementations. This paper also explores the challenges of real-time data transmission, battery management, and system integration, highlighting the potential of this Bluetooth- based solution in advancing sustainable river management and contributing to global water pollution mitigation efforts.
