 INTRODUCTION

 For recycling management Experts believe that India is following a flawed system of waste
disposal and management.  Waste separation an enforced law and punishable if not followed.
But  It’s complex to understand for a new person, especially rural peoples. Too much time
consuming for a busy person. So, I want develop an automation system that is able to separate
the trash automatically using just one trash bin. It will be able to separate 3 kinds of trash  for
eg Tin can, paper, plastic etc and  store them in a particular chamber.
 Project Goal
 Reducing the use of many trash bin and making a compact and multi waste storing
bin.
•Reducing the waste of time used for separating garbage.
•Making a modern, stylish and intelligent trash bin.
•Automatic separation of different types of garbage like a plastic bag, metal can,
plastic bottle, paper.
•Automatic open of Trash Bin cover by a hand motion sensor.
•Alarm when any of the trash chambers are full.
 Project discription
 Okay now let’s have an elaborate discussion about that project…

 Now for the project, We have to use Capacitive and metal proximity sensors… These two will function
everything. And for determining the trash volume inside the trash bin I used an IR distance sensor but
it’s totally optional . We will mainly  needed 2 metal proximity sensors and one capacitive sensor.
