SMART WASTE SEGREGATION SYSTEM USING ARDUINO UNO

Abstract

Introducing a technique to effectively manage rubbish in huge cities, this project eliminates the need for continual human supervision. Here, the problem of chaotic and unsystematic waste collection is dealt with by means of an integrated IoT system that monitors the amount of rubbish put into each container. Here, a solution is provided for the automated sorting of dry and wet waste. Here, sensors could automatically sort the garbage into dry and moist piles, which could subsequently be put in different bins. Using an infrared (IR) sensor to detect dry waste is the first step; a moisture sensor is used to detect wet waste in the second step. The process includes an infrared sensor that, when activated, will direct the motor to spin in the direction of the dry trash can. However, if garbage is detected by both sensors, the motor will go towards the damp waste bin. Each of these receptacles has an ultrasonic distance sensor attached to its top. This allows us to monitor the amount of waste in each bin and alert the right person when one is full.
