Automatic trash sorting machine / Sara Arieanna Mohd Said

This project is an initiative to create an automatic trash sorting machine. The main reason of the creation of this project is to implement Recycling habits into society without relying 100% on society. Since the world is on the verge of collapse regarding its management waste, a drastic change must be made regardless of the method. Moreover, the world is already living in the gates of the future. Therefore, society also needs to tackle crisis with modern solution. Although nurturing good recycling and love for the earth’s habits in humans are a necessity, society still needs to find solution to step up regarding the waste management issues that is faced by the globe. Thus, the creation of the automatic trash sorting machine. This machine is a low budget prototype made to handle this matter. The machine separate material such as metal, plastic and others via using inductive proximity sensor, capacitive sensor and IR sensor. All these functions are mainly controlled by the microcontroller Arduino UNO. This prototype is an initiative to create an efficient automatic trash sorting machine to be used in public spaces. By doing this, the implementation of recycling habits can still be nurtured without fully depending 100% on humans. As a result, recycling trash will be much easier because all trash is already sorted according to their materials without mixing or damaging each other.
