Why do we need waste management?. Environmental Protection.
Conventional Waste Management System. India's conventional waste management system involves the basic processes of collection, transportation, and disposal, primarily managed by municipalities. Major challenges include inadequate infrastructure, irregular collection schedules, and reliance on open dumping methods. Lack of Segregation at Source end , hindering effective recycling and proper waste management, Rapid urbanization has intensified these problems, overwhelming existing waste management systems. Proper disposal mechanism remained underdeveloped..
Objective. The paper introduces smart bins equipped with IoT sensors and machine learning to optimize waste segregation, focusing on separating wet and dry household waste. We mainly considered Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Solid Household waste. Sensor data and Image Processing algorithm aids in precise segregation at source, while T-Shaped door enabling efficient handling of Waste Items based on Waste Type prediction helps in efficient recycling Process. The bins collect and process data in real time, improving the efficiency of waste collection, reducing operational costs, and minimizing environmental impact. It enables remote monitoring of each bin, allowing authorities to track bin fill levels addressing challenges posed by irregular collection and poor Infrastructure..
We Initially proposed a smart dustbin using sensors to detect waste, but encountered challenges in Identifying Organic waste emits methane gas after 1-3 days, making it difficult to detect fresh waste using methane sensors. Using ethylene sensors as an alternative indicator for organic waste, the project's cost-effectiveness goal was compromised due to the high cost of ethylene sensors. To overcome these limitations, we implemented image processing alongside sensor data, allowing for more accurate waste identification based on predefined logic and combining multiple detection methods..

How we are different. Leveraged the cost-effective ESP32 module, which offers advanced functionality at fraction of the cost of alternatives like the Raspberry Pi, promoting wider adoption. Maintained a balance between affordability and high-performance features, without compromising the effectiveness of the waste management system. Making it easier to scale and implement widely. This innovative approach simplifies primary waste segregation in public spaces Encourages community engagement in sustainability efforts aims to contribute to cleaner and organized environment streamlining waste management..
Conclusion. In conclusion, This offers a transformative solution for optimizing waste monitoring and control. Integration of IoT sensors and data analytics enhances waste collection and segregation efficiency. Reduces operational costs while promoting sustainable practices in communities also addressing waste challenges amid rapid urbanization. It contributes to cleaner environments, higher recycling rates, and increased awareness of responsible waste disposal. Paving a Way for more sustainable future.
