One of the major issues for environmental hazard is the continuous accumulation of waste. As the world’s population continues to rise, garbage is dumped at one place, mixing different types of wastes. In India, the total generated waste is expected more than 1,50,000 metric tons per day. People spill waste along roadsides, and the people in charge of the model do not collect it regularly. This automated waste segregation bin is a project to make it more efficient, these rapid technological advancements have resulted in a low initial cost. This application proposes IoT-based smart segregation and management which segregates wastes as dry, metallic and wet waste with the help of sensors like IR sensor, Ultrasonic sensors, Inductive proximity sensors, Soil Moisture sensors. The microcontroller consists of a Wi-Fi module along with the Arduino that can take place in an effectively closed manner. Arduino controls the functions of the sensors and servo motors. The entire waste process, including level and separation, is monitored and controlled by configurable IO sensors, reducing open degradation of organic waste and thus the growth of microorganisms. In the proposed system it divides the waste into dry waste, metal waste and metal waste. This application is an effective method for the waste management and segregation process. By using a cloud server, the data collected by the Arduino can easily be viewed by an authority. The data will be based on the garbage filling level. So, there is no need to check the waste filling level manually.
