Garbage Segregation and Management Issue
With the increase in population year after year, the amount of waste generated is increasing tremendously. This has led to many hazardous problems. The accumulation of the waste in large areas of land results in the formation of landfills which have dangerous consequences. The odor of the rotten waste pollutes the surrounding environment by releasing a foul smell. The disposal of the waste in water bodies contaminates all the linking oceans and seas which affect the quality of drinking water and also the lives of the water animals. The toxic gases are released into the air and in turn the whole ecosystem is affected. Therefore, waste management is a very serious issue in today’s era. If the waste produced is effectively handled at the source level, a lot of things can be changed and prevented. The segregation of waste into wet, dry and metallic categories can help in discarding the waste appropriately and in implementing the principle of Reuse, Reduce and Recycle. The wet waste can be decomposed to produce manure for the plants, the metallic waste and the dry waste can be recycled. Thus the Automatic Waste Segregator has a lot of applications in the management of the waste. The system separates the waste in 3 different bins under the category of wet, dry and metallic. Different sensors are used for the detection of the type of waste. The level of the garbage in the bins is monitored continuously so that the bins don’t overflow and they are emptied timely. The notification is sent to the concerned authority with the location at which the bin is placed.
