ABSTRACT:

Now a days to develop green and clean India it is necessary to control the pollution caused
by the environment and land. We develop a project to control the pollution caused by the
overfull of garbage bin and in addition to that we also performing segregation process. The
garbage management system is the actions required to manage the waste by segregating it to
Biodegradable and non-Biodegradable waste. However there are number of methodologies are
build to manage the garbage or solid waste. In real time the excess waste overfilling the dustbin
needs to be notified. In our proposed work, the waste are segregated into biodegradable and non-
biodegradable. Along with that the overflow of the garbage bins are detected to avoid the land
pollution. The Analog IR and the Digital IR sensor are used for segregation and the level of bins
respectively. Finally the IOT process is used to intimate the message to the concern person.

The analog IR sensor is placed at the

arm. The arm picks single waste at a time
and sense the waste using the sensor. The
sensor sends IR ray, some of the rays is
absorbed by the waste and remaining are
returned to the sensor. According to the
return voltage value of the analog IR sensor
the waste is detected and placed in bio-
degradable (Right side) or non bio-
degradable waste (Left side).

industries, large scale organization.

Future scope:

In our project we are only segregating

plastics, rotten vegetables and papers which
is also segregated as one by one. But in
future the arm should pick and place more
waste at a time.
