Abstract

The current market offers smart bins, incorporating automatic door openings as a notable design feature for household cleanliness. While advanced and versatile waste management devices exist for business applications, the Philippines faces limited access to these innovations. The discrepancy is compounded by existing challenges in waste segregation techniques that demand attention and improvement. This project aims to address these issues by developing a system that automates the separation of household waste into three distinct categories: paper, plastic, and metal. Utilizing an Arduino Mega microcontroller, YOLOv4-based waste classification, and various models, the system offers efficient and hands-free waste disposal. Key features include real-time notifications, three-succession waste disposal, and LED bar indicators. The system’s potential lies in streamlining waste segregation, user-friendly design, and versatile applications beyond residential use. SMARTSORT aims to contribute to sustainable waste management practices.
