Abstract

Taking inspiration from the Swachh Bharat Mission, this project focuses on designing a Smart Waste Segregation System to promote cleanliness and environmental sustainability. Smart solutions to waste management can significantly boost productivity as technology continues to advance. This system uses an Arduino Uno microcontroller to detect and classify waste into three categories: wet, dry, and metallic. Other components include IR sensors, proximity sensors, rain drop sensors, and stepper motors. The automated system makes sure that waste is separated and disposed of in the right way, reducing environmental pollution and health risks from improper waste disposal. Additionally, the system regularly logs waste data, making it useful for analysis and monitoring. By making proper waste disposal accessible to individuals from all economic backgrounds, this cost-effective and scalable solution not only enhances waste management processes but also contributes to a cleaner and healthier society.
