Smart Cloud Enabled E-Waste Management System

Electronic waste (E-waste) comprises waste electronics/electrical goods that are useless. This includes computers, servers, monitors, and so on. E-waste contains toxic substances, such as lead and cadmium in circuit boards, lead oxide and cadmium in monitor (CRTs), mercury in switches which are highly hazardous. In this paper, we propose a monitoring system for e-waste dump yards through smart phones. This is an initiative to do things for the wide scope e-waste management. We use the morphological operations in image processing to determine the area covered by e-wastes, which can be monitored by the end user through the dedicated android application.
