A Waste Segregation Bin

Abstract

Abstract: The primary idea of this project is to create a waste segregation bin which is equipped with a number of sensors to effectively sense the nature of waste and place it in the correct bin. We are also using a LIDAR system so that it can traverse autonomously from house to house in order to collect the waste sample. The system is also equipped with a RFID module so that it can reward the person who uses it. The waste bin would also be attached with an ultrasound sensor connected to a web application using NodeMCU so that the authorities can monitor the level of waste present in the bin. This would save fuel for them and it would also help the companies requiring those waste products to know beforehand how much waste they will get on a particular day. The companies will pay the authorities some amount for the waste product. The authorities will keep some amount for maintaining the equipment and building more such items and pay the rest to the persons who provide the waste as the data is already available through the RFID card reader. It would be a benefit for the companies as they are getting the waste at a lower cost, the citizens would get a reward for throwing the waste in the proper bin. We are also planning to use aluminum instead of plastic as it is more durable so less cost of maintenance. Keywords: Autonomous traversal, Solidworks designing, Electrical,
