ABSTRACT.

Proper waste management is one of the major problems for densely populated urban
areas. It is getting difficult day by day to lead a healthy, sustainable living in urban
areas because of environmental contamination. Due to the lack of proper waste
management approach, problems like an overflow of waste occurs that badly harm
our environment. Polluted surroundings result in the spread of various kinds of
diseases in an epidemic form. For developed and developing countries, waste
management is a challenge to long-term development. Proper management of waste
is getting tougher because of increasing population, urbanization, and
industrialization. In this modern era of technology, we need to apply technology-
based solutions to handle large amounts of waste for overpopulated urban areas. We
have reviewed several recent research articles related to the smart waste management
system, and almost all of them have some major limitations as well as progress. To
ensure environmental hygiene and sustainable urban life, we have presented a smart
IoT based integrated system consists of an identification system, an automated lid
system, a display system, and a communication system. Arduino Uno is used as a
microcontroller to synchronize all of the four systems. Sensors are used for
identification and measuring the garbage level. The system provides the facility of
continuous monitoring of the status of waste inside the garbage bin and shows the
percentage filled up on liquid crystal display (LCD). The communication system uses
a global system for mobile communications (GSM) module that will inform the
corresponding authority to collect the waste when the garbage bin is filled up. The
proposed waste management system is much more efficient than any other
conventional waste management system as it reduces the use of manpower, avoids
spillover of waste, saves time, more economical, and most importantly it is a
completely automated system.
 PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT.

The purpose of our project is to provide a supervision device for intelligent waste
bin. This device integrates several sensors to supervise the state of the trash.
The segregation, transport, handling and disposal of waste must be managed
properly to minimize the risks to the public, and the environment. An efficient
method to dispose the waste has been designed in our project, ” automatic waste
segregator and monitoring system “. This paper proposes an automatic waste
segregator (AWS) which is a cheap, easy to use solution for a segregation system
at households, so that the wastes can be sent directly for processing. Automatic
waste segregator is designed to sort the waste into three main categories namely;
metallic, organic and plastic, thereby making the waste management more
effective. Ultrasonic sensors are added for monitoring waste collection process.
 INTRODUCTION.

Ten million ton of garbage is generated in metropolitan Cities. The landfills of

most of these cities are overflowing With no space for fresh garbage waste. The
philosophy of “waste management hierarchy” has been adopted by most Nations
as the step for developing municipal solid waste (MSW) management strategies.
So we decided to separate Waste in the home itself with the help of using sensors.
Here We are going to use ultrasonic sensor and inductive sensor. In this project
we are separating the waste at our home itself With the use of sensors. By
separating the waste at home Itself we can reduce the work done by the our
municipality. This helps our government to recycle our waste in very Simple
manner.

According to a sanitation survey called ministry of urban Development under the

mission, it was found that about 50% People in India face the problem of
improper waste Collection and management. According to centre of science And
environment, innovative disposal and recycling methods Must be introduced
instead of landfill sites Thus, we have proposed a cost effective Automatic waste
Segregator categorizes the waste as plastic, metallic or Organic. The monitoring
system helps to monitor the waste Collection process. The common method of
waste disposal is By unplanned and uncontrolled dumping at landfill areas. This
method is hazardous to human health, plant and Animal life. When the waste is
segregated into basic streams Such as plastic, metallic and organic, the waste has
a higher Potential of recovery, and then, recycled and reused. The Organic waste
is converted either into compost or methane gas or both. Compost can replace
demand for chemical Fertilizers, and biogas can be used as a source of energy.
The Metal waste could be reused or recycled.

Even if there are large scale industrial waste segregators Present, it is always
feasible to separate the waste at the Source itself. The benefit of doing so is that
the occupational Hazard for waste workers is reduced. Also, the separated Waste
could be directly sent to the recycling and processing Plant instead of sending it
to the segregation plant then to The recycling plant.

Proper management of waste should be a priority to reduce environmental

pollution and to ensure the safety of public health. In developing countries, waste
management and awareness is an emerging concept. To ensure the sound
environment and sustainable development, appropriate management of waste is
a must. Nevertheless, in developing countries, due to lack of infrastructure and
unsustainable practices have made waste management worst, which leads to
environmental contamination.

The open dumping and picking of waste within open dumpsites lead to serious
health risks like skin infections and chronic diseases. In slum areas, the situation
gets worst because of the high density of the population. It is a clear indication
that environmental / health issues and poor waste management are interrelated.
The increase in population, urbanization, and industrialization increases the waste
generation level throughout the world. More than 64% of the population in the
developing countries and more than 84% in the developed ones will be in urban
areas by 2050 [1]. Hence waste management is a global issue in terms of various
environmental and social impacts.
The world generates 2.01 billion tons of municipal solid waste annually, with at
least 33% that - extremely conservatively - not managed in an environmentally
safe manner. Global waste is expected to grow to 3.40 billion tons by 2050.
Worldwide, waste generated per person per day averages 0.74 kg but ranges
widely, from 0.11 to 4.54 kg. The total quantity of waste generated in low-income
countries is expected to increase by more than three times
by 2050.
 A BRIEF HISTORY OF WASTE MANAGEMENT.

For most of mankind’s history rubbish disposal was not a major problem. The
amount generated had little impact simply because there wasn’t that many of us.
Natural resources were consumed resulting in mostly ash and human waste. At
those levels these by-products were quickly and safely degraded back into the
ecosystem. Man-made items such as tools were highly prized and handed down
to successive generations. The making of stone, wood and even early metal tools
had little environmental impact.

How It Started?
Waste Disposal in 1900With the age of industrialisation came urbanisation, and
as a result large populations quickly arose. Cities soon became very crowded and
the accumulation of waste grew. With no waste disposal rules in place the streets
became choked with refuse. The idea of a municipal authority with powers to
remove rubbish was talked of in the mid-18th century by Corbyn Morris a
customs official at the time. He believed the health of the population to be of
‘great importance’ and that public management should be undertaken to clean the
city of London.
Unfortunately it wasn’t until a century later before legislation was introduced. With
cholera on the increase causing large scale mortality, a public health debate ensued.
In 1842 renowned social reformer Edwin Chadwick penned a report ‘The Sanitary
Condition of the Labouring Population’ he put forward a persuasive argument for
the need for proper removal and management facilities of refuse. Stating that the
health and well-being of the population was at stake. This report played an important
role in securing the first law on waste collection.

The 1846 the Nuisance Removal and Disease Prevention Act started the ball rolling
for the ever evolving regulation of waste management. With this bin men were born.
The first city wide authority in charge of them was the Metropolitan Board of Works.
With the introduction of the Public Health Act 1875 every household had to deposit
their weekly rubbish in a ‘movable receptacle’ for disposal, and so the dust-bin came
about.

Horse drawn open backed carts were the first collection vehicles used. Followed by
steam driven trucks at the close of the 19th century. These vehicles soon developed
with screw systems and finally the hydraulic ram. Hydraulic rams have been used
ever since having been refined over the years.

Pompeli Waste Disposal System

 WORKING PRINCIPLE.

Garbage monitoring system is designed. In the proposed system, the level of the
garbage is detected with the help of ultrasonic sensor and sent to the authorized
agency for garbage collection through GSM system. IR sensor is used to sense
if the garbage is kept or not. The GSM and the peripheral sensors used are
interfaced through the Arduino microcontroller. Depending on the received
messages through the GSM at control room it is displayed on LCD and the
authorized person inform the drivers to collect the garbage on time. This will
capably help to monitor the garbage collection to make the environment smart,
clean and safe.

Thus, we have proposed a cost effective “Automatic waste segregator and

monitoring system” for proper management of waste. Automatic waste segregator
categorizes the waste as plastic, metallic or organic. The monitoring system helps to
monitor the waste collection process. The common method of waste disposal is by
unplanned and uncontrolled dumping at landfill areas. This method is hazardous to
human health, plant and animal life. When the waste is segregated into basic streams
such as plastic, metallic and organic, the waste has a higher potential of recovery,
and then, recycled and reused . The organic waste is converted either into compost
or methane-gas or both . Compost can replace demand for chemical fertilizers, and
biogas can be used as a source of energy. The metal waste could be reused or
recycled.
 REVIEW LITRETURE OF PROJECT.

The paper proposed an effective and efficient garbage management system. The
proposed system uses sensors for identification of personnel and measuring garbage
level. Continuous data regarding garbage levels are available for personnel through
the display of the garbage bin. This smart garbage bin provides an automated lid to
personnel. When there are personnel detected within a 30 cm range of the garbage
bin, the lid opens if the garbage bin is not filled up and the rest of the time, it remains
closed. The garbage bin also sends a message to the corresponding authority to
collect waste when the bin is 100% filled up. Arduino Uno synchronizes the whole
automated system. A real prototype of the proposed smart waste management
syste…

(i) It provides a very simple waste management system that is eco-friendly. It

also can bring a great change in people's perspective towards messy urban
life.

(ii) The proposed system is very much easy to handle than the traditional waste
management system. It will also help to secure a worthy urban life.

(iii) The system also provides an automated lid that prevents any kind of physical
contact with a garbage bin. With IoT based application, it helps to avoid the
overflow and spreading of waste.
 SECTION SNIPPETS.

Analysis of existing IoT based smart waste management system

Different aspects of IoT based technology are covered in the literature for waste
management solutions.
Proposed an android based application that provides the facility of informing city
corporations or can notify volunteers to come forward. It also provides a platform
for the user to take part in a clean city. The main advantages of this android based
application are, users can detect nearby dustbin with location, available volunteers
are visible on the map and can notify

Proposed smart garbage management system

An illustration indicating a complete scenario of the smart waste management

system with the proposed smart garbage management system is shown in Fig. 3. The
system consists of an identification system, an automated lid system, a display
system, and a communication system. All these four systems are synchronized using
the Arduino Uno microcontroller and are described below. The components used to
implement the proposed garbage management system are shown in Fig. 4.

Methodology

An integrated Arduino program is developed to synchronize the identification

system, automated lid system, micro-controller, display system, and communication
system. An ultrasonic sensor is attached to the front side of the garbage bin. The
transmitter of the ultrasonic sensor emits an ultrasonic sound that is beyond the
human ear listening range, and the receiver receives the reflected sound waves by
the solid objects. Therefore, if there are any personnel detected within a certain
range, the

Software framework development

An Arduino language-based software is developed for the proposed smart garbage

management system. An Arduino IDE is required to run the software. The software
is compatible with Linux, OS X, Microsoft Windows platform, and licensed under
Apache License 2.0 (details are given in Appendix A1 and A2). The framework of
the developed software code is divided into five parts . They are to implement code
for the outside ultrasonic sensor so that it can identify personnel within
 COMPONENTS AND THEIR DESCRIPTION.

• Arduino UNO
The Arduino Uno is a popularly used open-source micro-controller board that runs
on ATmega 328P micro-controller. This board is developed by Arduino.cc which is
an Italy based hardware company. This board contains a set of digital and analog I/O
data pins that are used to interface this board with other electronic components.
Arduino Uno consists of 14 digital pins and 6 analog pins. This board can be
programmed with the help of Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
that supports embedded C, its back-end is constructed using JAVA. Uno consists of
an USB port through which the code can be uploaded on to the board. This post can
also be used to power the board by connecting it to a laptop, PC, etc. Along with a
USB port, it also has a DC input power jack. An external battery of 9V can also be
used to power Arduino board.

Technical Specifications:

1. Operating Voltage: 5V
2. Input Voltage: 7-20V
3. DC current per I/O pin: 20 mA
4. Flash Memory: 32 KB
5. Clock Frequency: 16 MHz
6. No. of digital pins: 14
7. No. of analogue pins: 6
Communication: The ATmega328 provides UART TTL (5V) serial commu-
nication, which is available on digital pin 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). ATmega16U2 on
the board channels this serial communication over USB and appears as virtual
com port to software on the computer.

The advantages of Arduino over 8051 or any micro-controller in the 8051 family
is countless. Arduino contains inbuilt ADC and DAC which is not the case with
8051. Programming Arduino is simpler because it can be programmed using an
IDE that supports C programming, on the other hand, 8051 has to be programmed
using assembly language programming.
• IR Sensor
IR sensor is one of the most commonly used sensors in the field of electronics, it
has a large number of applications at the domestic as well as at the industrial
level. IR module is a sensor module that consists of both IR transmitter and a
receiver. Operating voltage of this module is 5 volts and the obstacle detection
range is 5 cm that can be increased by 15 cms. An IR sensor can detect the heat
of an object as well any motion in the surrounding. The functioning of an IR
module is pretty straightforward. As the module contains both transmitter and
receiver. When powered, IR transmitter starts to transmit continuous IR waves,
if an obstacle is placed in the path of the waves, they get reflected back from the
obstacle and are received by the receiver.
Technical Specifications:
1.Operating Voltage: 5V 2.Minimum Distance: 2-5 cms 3.Maximum Distance:
10-15 cms
Circuit Description: The circuit of an infrared sensor contains the following
components-
1.LM358 IC two IR transmitter and receiver pair.
2.Resistors in the kilo ohms range
3.Variable resistors
A4.Light emitting diode

When the IR receiver does not receive a signal, the potential at the inverting input
goes higher than that non-inverting input of the comparator IC (LM339). Thus
the output of the comparator goes low, but the LED does not glow. When the IR
receiver module receives signal to the potential at the inverting input goes low.
Thus the output of the comparator (LM 339) goes high and the LED starts
glowing. Resistor R1 (100 ), R2 (10k ) and R3 (330) are used to ensure that
minimum 10 mA current passes through the IR LED Devices like Photodiode
and normal LEDs respectively. Resistor VR2 is used to adjust the output
terminals. Resistor VR1is used to set the sensitivity of the circuit Diagram.
 • Moisture Sensor
As the name indicates, this sensor is used to measure the moisture content in a given
material. These sensors use the volumetric water content indirectly by making use
of some other properties like electrical resistance, dielectric constant. In general
cases, the sensor generates a voltage proportional to the dielectric permittivity and
therefore measures the moisture content of a material

Technical Specifications :

This is a cardboard and a textured Aluminium foil,
so while making the project we thought of doing a
DIY (do it yourself). Thus we tried out an
experiment where we use Aluminium foil and
cardboard as moisture sensor and a flipper and it
worked so we didn’t use the actual moisture
sensor, where as we replaced it with textured
Aluminium foil glued to cardboard.
 • Liquid Crystal Display ( LCD)

This is a flat panel display that uses properties of liquid crystals. LCD displays do
not emit light directly, instead, they use a backlight to develop images in single color.
LCD displays are used in a wide range of applications like television panel, computer
monitors and instrument panels as well. A 16 X 2 LCD means it can display16
characters per line and there are 2 such lines. In this display, each character is
displayed using a 5×7 pixel matrix. This LCD has two pivotal registers that are:
▪ Command Register: The command register stores the command given to the LCD
by a micro-controller.
▪ Data Register: The data register stores the data to be displayed on the LCD. The data
that is displayed on the LCD screen, is actually the ASCII value of the characters
that are to be displayed.
• ULTRASONIC SENSOR

An ultrasonic sensor is an electronic device that measures the

distance of a target object by emitting ultrasonic sound waves, and
converts the reflected sound into an electrical signal.
Ultrasonic waves travel faster than the speed of audible sound (i.e.
the sound that humans can hear). Ultrasonic sensors have two main
components: the transmitter (which emits the sound using
piezoelectric crystals) and the receiver (which encounters the sound
after it has travelled to and from the target).
• BUZZER

A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device. which may be

mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric (piezo for short).
Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers, and
confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.

• SERVO MOTOR

A servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows

for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity and
acceleration It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor
for position feedback. It also requires a relatively
sophisticated controller, often a dedicated module designed
specifically for use with servomotors.

Servomotors are not a specific class of motor, although the

term servomotor is often used to refer to a motor suitable for
use in a closed-loop control system.
 • GSM MODULE.

A GSM modem or GSM module is a hardware device that uses

GSM mobile telephone technology to provide a data link to a
remote network. From the view of the mobile phone network,
they are essentially identical to an ordinary mobile phone,
including the need for a SIM to identify themselves to the
network.
Software

Arduino IDE

Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a

software platform that enables a user to program Arduino or any
controller of the ATmega family. The back-end of this software
is developed using JAVA. This IDE provides a user the liberty to
program an Arduino using C language. It connects to the Arduino
and hardware to upload programs and communicate with them.
The IDE consists of two main parts viz.

void setup (): This is the location where a user can initialize all
the variables that will be required during the course of
programming a system. As the name suggests, this function is
used to set up an Arduino before interfacing it with other circuits.
This area can also be used to include libraries of various sensors.
The popularly used functions in void setup are:
pinMode: This function is used to declare pins of Arduino as input
or output.
serial.begin: This function is used when Arduino is
communicating with other sensors or devices. This enables a user
to set a specific baud rate for communication purpose.
void loop (): The code written in this space will run over and over
again unless Arduino is interrupted using an interrupt or the USB
cable is disconnected from the USB port. The different functions
that are often used in void loop are:
digitalWrite: This function is used to make a specific pin on
Arduino logically HIGH or LOW.
digitalRead: This function is used when there is a need to read
digital data from a sensor or when we have to control something
using a switch/ push button.
AnalogRead: This function comes in handy when we have to read
analog data from a sensor eg. Analog read is used when there is a
need to read data from a potentiometer.
AnalogWrite: This function is used when a user wants to supply
analog voltages to a component. The best example of analog write
is when the intensity of LED is controlled using a potentiometer
and analog write function.

Performance test and result

A prototype of a smart garbage bin is developed practically for the smart

garbage management system. The smart bin consists of an identification
system, an automated lid system, a display system, and also can
communicate with the waste management authority. A program is
installed in the Arduino board and used as a microcontroller to control the
whole system in an automated way. The complete structure of the bin and
its working procedure is already mentioned in this paper. Different
components

Economic feasibility assessment

Another purpose of this project is to make the proposed waste

management system as cheap as possible. A cost in BDT is presented in
the following Table 3 needs for the construction of the proposed smart
bin.

Therefore, a total of $15.51 (BDT 1304) is required for the construction

of the proposed prototype of the smart bin, which is a very low cost. The
cost of the power supply is not included in the above Table 3 because
integrated chips for power supply and microcontrollers are available in
the
Integration ability to existing waste management plan

The proposed smart waste management system is mainly developed to

make the Dhaka city a better place to live in; however, it can be integrated
with other cities’ waste management plans. As the existing garbage
management technique of Dhaka city is not automated or software-based,
the government can apply the proposed garbage management system.
Gradually and progressively, the government can take necessary steps to
improve the system. By introducing the proposed garbage management
system

Technical background

The mixed waste is sorted based on the following methods at the industrial
level. Larger items are removed by manual sorting. Then the refuse is
sorted based on its size by using large rotating drums which are perforated
with holes of a certain size. Materials smaller than the diameter of the
holes will be able to drop through, but larger particles will remain in the
drum. For metallic objects electromagnets or eddy, current based
separators can be used. Near-infrared scanners are used to differentiate
between various types of plastics based on the ability of the material to
reflect light. X-rays can also be used to segregate materials based on their
density. The methodology adopted in this paper to resolve the issue of
waste segregation is by making the entire process automated and to the
reduce cost such that it could be adapted in a household level.

Few disadvantages are given below:

• Waste separation is time consuming.

• Size of waste must be less than or equal to the dimension of funnel.
• To build a waste segregation system is not cheaper
• It needs regular servicing
• Authorities will have to be much more careful so that nobody fidgets with the
machine

FUTURE SCOPE
• Inlet section can be incorporated with a crusher mechanism to reduce the
size of incoming waste.
• Provisions can be made for on spot decomposition of wet waste (Biogas
plant, organic fertilizers).
• Solar panels can be used as power supply.

CONCLUSION
• The waste segregator as the name suggests, segregates the waste into
three major classes: plastic, organic, metallic.

• The proposed system would be able to monitor the solid waste

collection process and management of the overall collection process.
The inlet section is provided with open and close mechanism to regulate
the flow of waste on to the conveyor.
• Inductive proximity sensor is used to detect the metallic waste.
• A blower mechanism is used to segregate dry and wet waste.
• The timing and movement of the conveyor belt is controlled by Arduino
Uno. Continuous and unnecessary operation of any particular section is
thus avoided.
