The coordinates of each waste is then used to push the waste individually out of the separation zone for identi cation and segregation. The camera is mounted above the separation zone and identi es the location of the waste in the zone. The location of the waste in the separation zone is determined using a camera with the help of Image Processing.
The separated waste will be collected in a separation zone. For detecting the entry of waste, a Laser-LDR pair is used at the bin mouth. The dustbin can separate multiple wastes at a time and has built-in features to detect when the waste bin is nearing collection in order to alert the concerned authorities to empty the bins.Īn air separation mechanism (Brushless DC motor and a propeller) separates the falling waste items based on their density and force exerted by moving air. These dustbins require minimum modification to the existing bins. The dustbin segregates waste into 3 categories: Recyclables ( Plastic, paper and glass), Metals and Organic Waste. We propose a smart dustbin which does the above-mentioned task. We essentially need a way of to segregate waste without human intervention. It has, however, failed to work, since users do not take the effort to dispose of the waste correctly. To reduce the effort required to segregate waste, many cities and airports have employed bins with partitions for different types of waste.
Lack of segregation is the root cause of clogged land fills, blocked drains, soil and water pollution and can hinder the entire process of waste disposal, recycling and reuse. It allows for better disposal of waste and encourages more recycling and reuse of matter. Segregation of waste is the first and most important step in waste management and environmental preservation.
