Paper Details

The objective of the research-based project is an embedded system prototype, which shall include twodomains of Embedded system and Networking. The functioning of the prototype consists of GSM/GPRS based alertingsystem for the municipal authorities when the dustbin(s) is full/nearly full; the authorities will be provided the exactlocation of the full dustbin via GPS navigation system. The prototype aims at sorting of wet and dry waste at source. Theresearch aspect of this project is to sort wet and dry waste by implementing laws of electronics usingresistance/capacitance as the governing factor(s) and the dust – bin shall show the amount of moisture content in thewaste collected using sensor technology. This will allow the busy metropolises to monitor the amount of waste beingdumped from domestic and commercial edifices which in turn help in reducing the amount of fuel and budget invested inregular or timely round-robin waste/garbage collection. Sorting of dry/wet waste at source is governed by a moisturedetector sensing plate which is the research aspect of this paper. The project aims at – resolving the issue ofmismanagement of waste, enhance recyclability of disposed waste and, implement dynamic routing of waste refuseLorries using sensors and GSM/GPS technology. The project is a prospect which proposes a return on investment modelby attaining a waste to energy system by converting the organic (wet) waste freely available, into manure or biogas andcontributing towards the benefit of the farmer ecosystem and in turn the environment.
