Abstract
This innovative system is highly necessary to maintain cleanliness and hygiene within our society. A dedicated webpage has been created to display the status within the user control area where monitoring occurs seamlessly through a single connection. The garbage levels are indicated through color coding on LED screens, facilitating easy monitoring. Additionally, the system handles waste segregation efficiently, categorizing it for further processing. The rise in human population growth and urban development has resulted in a substantial uptick in the production of waste. Overflowing bins in urban areas contribute to unhygienic environments, consequently degrading the surroundings. To address this issue, the “Automatic Waste Segregator” has been developed, aiming to alleviate the burden on manual waste pickers who are susceptible to health risks. This system sorts waste into wet, dry, and metallic categories automatically. This system offers both cost savings and improved efficiency in waste management. Specific sensors detect different types of waste, directing them to respective bins, while disposal information is consistently updated on the server. The automated process eliminates the health hazards associated with manual waste segregation for workers. To combat these challenges, a comprehensive waste segregation and monitoring system has been devised. This intelligent system is a novel approach to maintain cleanliness and health in cities. As the world’s population grows swiftly, maintaining a clean and sanitary environment becomes essential for enhancing quality of life. The main aim of this initiative is to implement an automated system for sorting waste and monitoring bin capacity using a wireless mesh network. Infrared sensors will be employed to recognize various objects, while moisture and metal sensors will identify wet and metallic waste respectively. Additionally, ultrasonic sensors will be utilized to measure the level of waste within the bins.
