Automatic Waste Segregation

Dynamic increase in the amount of waste and despicable dumping of waste has become a matter of concern because of the threat it causes to the environment. There comes the pivotal role of an automated waste segregate which avoid this plight and also reduces the difficulty of recycling. The importance and the economic value of waste is realized only when it is segregated. Currently there is no such system for segregation of metal, dry and wet wastes. This project proposes a spot automatic waste segregation unit that effectively gives a solution to this problem. In order to segregate the metallic waste a parallel resonance impedance system is used, and for the separation of wet and dry waste capacitive sensors are used. The benefits of this work are, the waste has a higher potential for recovery and the occupational hazards of waste separating workers is also reduced.
