Abstract
This project suggests an automatic system to segregate dry waste and wet waste which are sensed through embedded system technology. The purpose of this system design is to decrease human interaction while handling wastes and enhances cleanliness from source level. Ultrasonic sensor detects the presence of waste and soil moisture sensor will sense the moisture percentage present in the waste. Sensor values are then fed into Arduino Uno microcontroller. Dry or wet threshold values are pre-stored in the microcontroller which further classifies wastes into dry or wet categories. Servo motor is operated using Arduino to drop the waste into respective bins. Sensor values and system outputs are viewed in serial monitor which can be used for monitoring or troubleshooting purpose. Based on the prototype build and the experimentation with the system, it can be concluded that it successfully does the primary waste segregation of dry and wet waste which can be implemented in small spaces such as home, schools etc. It can also be said that the system efficiently does the primary automated waste management which is effortless and cost-effective.
