Waste Segregation and Monitoring System by Using GSM
Waste Segregation and Monitoring System by Using GSM
Abstract: In large cities waste generated is very large so for handling this waste properly we
have to develop smart and an easy alternative for both municipal corporation authority and
population. The rapid growth in the population has also led to the surge in the volume of
waste being generated on a daily basis. This increase in the generation of waste due to
continuous growth in the urbanization and industrialization has become a severe problem for
the local and the national government. It is also posing a serious problem for the local
authorities to manage the wastes being dumped everywhere as landfill. To ensure the minimal
risk to the environment and human health, it is necessary to take meticulous measures when
segregating and transporting waste. For maintaining the beauty of locality and also for
maintain proper hygienic condition of surrounding which affect the health of population this
waste should be managed properly which can be achieved by developing an automation
system to sort out wet and dry waste which help to separate degradable and non-degradable
waste. In our project we have using different sensors like infrared, moisture and global
system for mobile (GSM) through which the authority will get real time information via SMS
when dustbin is completely filled or any abnormal condition occur in system such as fire
detected. Segregation of waste in a proper manner brings to the limelight actual economic
value of the waste. The traditional method used for segregating of waste in India is through
rag pickers which are time-consuming and can have adverse effects on the health of the
people who are exposed to such wastes. Here we propose the use of an Auto Waste
Segregator (AWS) which is cheap and also an easy to use solution for segregation of
household waste.
