IOT Based Automated Waste Segregation System

Abstract

Waste segregation and management has become a massive challenge in our rapidly growing country. Therefore, we aim to create a low-cost system to automatically segregate the waste into wet and dry wastes at the household level. Reduction in human effort and prevention of diseases due to improper waste disposal methods is our primary goal. Also, incorporating this system eliminates the need to tolerate overflowing bins and the stench that accompanies it. The IoT based automated waste segregation system uses a Node MCU to collect all sensor data, and control the motors in the system perform the actuation that is needed. By leveraging Internet of things, the system can be made to communicate the levels to which the bins are _filled. With this information, the concerned officials can be informed to take the necessary action. A further insight into the idea is given in the sections that follow.
