 Waste Management and segregation is a much-needed process in metro
cities and urban areas due to spreading of diseases.

 Waste lying littered in the surrounding, dumped on open lands, becomes a

major problem for various types of disease-causing bacteria and viruses
hence, segregation, transport, handling and disposal of waste must be
managed properly to minimize the risks of the public and environment.

 When mixed dry and wet waste breaks down in lowland, it creates nasty
greenhouse gases.

 Segregation makes it attainable to utilize and recycle the waste effectively.

 To design an Automatic Waste Separation System.

 To dispose wet, metallic, dry wastes separately.

 To reduce the environmental impacts due to waste accumulation.

 When waste is thrown in the pipe, IR sensor will sense the waste.

 Waste is divided into three categories namely Wet, Dry and Metallic.
Another sensor will sense the garbage category.

 As per the algorithm used, if the waste is metallic then the mechanism will
bring the metal collecting bin below the pipe and with the help of servo
motor the waste will fall into the metal bin.

 Similarly, the process will repeat if wet waste is sensed. If the sensor
doesn’t activate both the sensor category then the waste will be considered
to be a dry waste.
 This type of product can be used in housing societies, offices, etc.

 Since it is cost effective, it can be implemented on a large scale as well

with some modifications.

 Using a robotic arm along with a conveyor belt will make the process of
segregation easier.

 Also, more sensors can be used to segregate bio-degradable and non-bio-

degradable waste, plastics, recyclable waste, e-waste, and medical waste.
 Implementation of this system at a local level like societies, educational
institutes, etc. can reduce the burden on the local authorities.

 The automatic waste segregator is one small step towards building an

efficient and economic waste collection system with a minimum amount of
human intervention and also no hazard to human life.

 Using a conveyor belt makes the system far more accurate, cost-effective
and also easier to install and use at a domestic level.

 Segregating all these wastes at a domestic level will also be time-saving.
