Smart Waste Segregation System

Abstract

Rapid expansion in the quantity and variety of solid and hazardous waste because of ongoing economic development, urbanization, and industrialization is posing a growing challenge for national and municipal governments to ensure efficient and long-term waste management. As reported by the Global trash Management Market Report 2007, the total amount of municipal solid trash produced globally in 2006 was anticipated to be 2.02 billion tons, a rise of 7% annually since 2003.To reduce the risk to patient and public health and safety, as well as environmental risk, waste management, transportation, and disposal must be carefully handled. Waste is best able to achieve its economic value when it is separated. There is currently no system in place for households to separate dry, moist, and metallic garbage. In order to send home waste directly for processing, this work suggests an Waste Segregator Robotic (WSR), which is an affordable, simple-to-use alternative. Its purpose is the process of separating the waste into dry and wet waste. Capacitive sensors are used by the WSR to differentiate between wet and dry trash, trash level detection, foul smell detection, relocation of the system and send alert to the person in-charge. Experimental findings demonstrate that the WSR has successfully integrated the separation of waste into moist and dry waste. Send an alert to the person in-charge for various issues such as trash level capacity, presence of foul smell and relocation of the system.
