Smart Waste Segregation Management System Using Three Sensors

Abstract

The way waste containers are managed has made waste accumulation and disposal into a major issue for populous cities. The undesired, dangerous, and wasted material left over from regular community events is known as solid garbage. Solid waste management is the control of solid waste generation, storage, collection, transport, treatment, and disposal. Waste containers placed in a wide range of places, including open areas like healing centers, educational institutions, and businesses, have been seen to be overflowing recently. The dustbin overflow creates an unhygienic condition that might transmit disease. Waste is most effectively utilized economically when it is separated. Waste segregation at disposal facilities requires extra manpower and time. With an increasing number of smart cities worldwide, IoT (Internet of Things)-based technological solutions for solid waste management are becoming more essential. These solutions will help in the advancement of a sustainable and clean environment. To ensure the least amount of risk to the environment and public health, it must be taken into consideration when sorting and transporting waste. Economic value of waste can be brought to the limelight by the segregation of waste in proper way. Rag pickers are the traditional way of garbage segregation utilized in India; this approach is time-consuming and harmful to the health of those exposed to the waste. Therefore they propose an idea of Automated Waste Segregator which can be used at household level to segregate the waste in easy way which is also cheap and affordable. In order to fulfill this, smart waste segregation management system using three sensors is presented. In this system, Arduino Uno is used which will monitor the waste segregation and segregates the waste. After the collection of dustbin, the waste segregated as Dry waste, wet waste and Metal waste. In addition, wet waste is composed metal and dry waste is recycled.
