N2  - Nowadays glass had become some of the solid waste produced by the society. Glass is primary ingredient for window, bottle, or as container to store for consumer and can be glass water for drinking. Glass had its unique property of material because it can be recycle after use it, and for the recycle process it only needs 40% of energy required from the virgin material to produce a new glass. Awareness in the consumer about recycling is still low, it because glass recycling in Malaysia is still in its infancy. Less than 30% of new bottles are made from recycled glass compared to 80% in Thailand and 60-70% in Europe. A vast majority of glass still ends up at landfills (MPK, 2009). This project is about integration of the data (weight) from weight detection unit (WDU) i.e. a standalone machine designed for collecting glass to Xively. In this project, weight detection unit (WDU) will transfer the data of weight to Xively i.e. an open based data system accessible by MPK. As the conclusion, a communication system is established between WDU and Xively of which the data signal transmitted from WDU (gram) to Xively using Arduino and sim900 device. The data is stored in Xively which is software for receiving data from Arduino. With this data communication, MPK who is the owner of Kuantan recycle glass system is able to access the data at their convenience
