Abstract

Industrialization, modernization, rapid advancements and increase in population have led to large
generation of waste. Segregation makes it possible to reuse and recycle the waste effectively. This paper proposes
implementation of an automated waste segregator at household level using Arduino microcontroller, to control the entire
process with ease and simplicity. The sensing unit consists of an IR (Infrared) sensor, a moisture sensor and a metal sensor
used to detect and identify various types of waste respectively. The main architecture of the segregator comprises of three
prominent stages consisting of an IR sensor, a metal sensor, a moisture sensor and the segregation bins. The IR sensor
detects the arrival of waste. Identification and separation of waste is done by sensors. The microcontroller controls all the
activity of sensors. Results have presented segregation of waste into metal, wet and dry waste.
