Smart Chopper and Monitoring System for Composting Garbage

Organic waste becomes a global issue that is still a problem, especially in developing countries. Waste management practices are not uniform among countries (developed and developing nations); regions (urban and rural areas), and residential and industrial sectors can all take different approaches. By using this system, we can crush the organics waste then let it sit for the composting process. In this system, we use the Arduino mega 2560 for processing, we use the 3900 rpm motor and several sensors like temperature sensor, humidity sensor, ultrasonic sensor, and LDR sensor. The automatic mode will make the chopper works efficiently, it will only activate whenever organic garbage put in the chopper. The Manual way will give a mitigation plan for the user. The system equipped with an LCD screen and will give monitoring capability so that the user can monitor the temperature, humidity, waste crushing process, and chopper condition. From the experiment, we see that the average time for the transformation about 6-7 days, as the garbage transforms from the solid pulp into the liquid form with the 27-28 degrees Celcius of temperature. By combining the technology, we can reduce garbage pollution by utilizing the chopper machine and monitored them.
