Development of Automatic Waste Segregator with Monitoring System

Automatic Waste Segregator and Monitoring System is an automated dustbin which can be used by all level of society. This paper proposes an Automatic Waste Segregator and Monitoring System which is designed to sort the wet waste, paper, plastic and aluminum material into each bin respectively. The main objective of this project is to automatically segregate the waste based on its material and monitor daily waste disposal rates and apply proper maintenance of the dustbin. Besides that, this project is to promote 3R (reuse, recycle, reduced) concept among citizens and prototype development that allows janitors to monitor the level of garbage in the dustbin detected by sensors inside the dustbin. When the bin reaches the threshold limit, the janitors is notified via SMS by using Icomsat 1.1 SIM900 GSM module. This project has been tested at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering UiTM Shah Alam. This dustbin will automatically open when someone is close to the dustbin and will not open if the garbage inside it has reached the threshold limit to prevent overflow and mess. Anyone who throws the rubbish in the dustbin will receive “thank you” on the LCD screen as a token of appreciation. In this paper, this project is built by using Microcontroller based platform Arduino Mega 2560 board which is interfaced with ESPS266 12E LoLin NodeMCU V3 module, Inductive proximity sensor, Laser module, Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), Liquid sensor module and Ultrasonic sensor.
