Design and Implementation of an Automatic Waste Segregation System

Abstract

This project is a way to achieve this good cause. In this project, IoT based smart dustbin is built on a micro controller - based platform Node MCU board which is interfaced with three Proximity Sensor, Ultrasonic Sensor & IR Sensor, Battery and Servo Motor. Ultrasonic sensor is placed at the top of the dustbin which will measure the status of the dust limit. Once these smart bins are implemented on a large scale, by replacing our traditional bins present today, waste can be managed efficiently as it avoids unnecessary lumping of wastes on roadside. Foul smell from these rotten wastes that remain untreated for a long time, due to negligence of authorities and carelessness of public may lead to long term problems. Breeding of insects and mosquitoes can create nuisance around promoting unclean environment. This may even cause dreadful diseases.
