Garbage segregating and alerting nexus

Abstract

Waste management is the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste. Waste segregation at source is the crux of waste management solution as it improves efficiency in processing of waste and resource recovery. The strategies for waste segregation differ from one region to another depending on the financial and technological resources available. Here in this paper, we design and discuss a simple prototype that segregates the generated waste into three categories: wet waste, metal waste and other waste using different type of sensor. The prototype further notifies the user using GSM, to empty the bin.
