Abstract

Today, the rapid increase in the population and the urban development has led to an increase in the level of solid wastes in India. Managing this waste efficiently has now become a major challenge for the modern societies. One of the main problem in waste management is the lack of segregation at the source. This leads to environmental pollution, health risks and inefficient recycling process. To overcome such issues, this project presents an Automated Waste classification and monitoring system powered by IoT. It automatically separates waste into 3 categories that is wet, dry and metallic waste. The system uses ESP32 microcontroller with sensors such as IR sensor, Raindrop sensor, Proximity sensor. A stepper motor is used to move the position of the bins, while a servo motor is used to control the waste inlet flap. This automated system reduces the manual effort required for segregation and improves waste management efficiency, making it suitable for homes, campuses as well in public areas.
