Smart Domestic Waste Segregation

Waste Management and segregation is a much-needed process in metro cities and urban areas due to spreading of diseases. It is estimated that India produces 42.0 million tons of municipal solid waste annually at present. Waste lying littered in the surrounding, dumped on open lands, of disease-causing bacteria and viruses hence, segregation, transport, handling and disposal of waste must be managed properly to minimize the risks of the public and environment. When mixed dry and wet waste breaks down in lowland, it creates nasty greenhouse gases. Segregation makes it attainable to utilize and recycle the waste effectively. This waste segregator system can easily segregate waste. When waste is thrown in the pipe, IR sensor will sense the waste. Waste is divided into two categories namely Wet and Dry . Another sensor will sense the garbage category. Similarly, the process will repeat if wet waste is sensed. If the sensor doesn’t activate the sensor category, then the waste will be considered to be a dry waste. Segregation system for household use, so that it can be sent directly for processing. It is designed to sort the refuse into wet waste and dry waste. Experimental results show that the segregation of waste into wet and dry waste has been successfully implemented using the AWS.
