Development of automatic waste segregator with monitoring system / Nurisha Hania Kamarudin

In the present scenario, there is a direct correlation between the addition of the population and the increment of waste. Automatic Waste Segregator and Monitoring System" is an automated dustbin which can be used by all level of society. This paper proposes an Automatic Waste Segregator and Monitoring System which is designed to sort the wet waste, paper, plastic and aluminium material into each bin respectively. The best waste economic value is realized when it is separated. The main objective of this project is to automatically segregate the waste based on its material and monitor daily waste disposal rates and apply proper maintenance of the dustbin. Besides that, this project aims to promote 3R (reuse, recycle, reduced) concept among citizens. Additionally, and prototype development allows janitors to monitor the level of garbage in the dustbin by means of sensors inside the dustbin. When the bin reaches its threshold limit, the janitors are notified via Telegram message by using LoLin NodeMCU V3 ESP8266 12E module. The loT platform used in this project is Cayenne loT platform that enables the user to monitor the status of each dustbins and download the data to perform further analysis. This project has been tested at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering UiTM Shah Alam. Five samples of plastic bottles, aluminium can, paper and wet waste were used in an experiment that is repeated five times. Upon completion, the automatic waste segregator was able to segregate all the samples correctly.
