An innovative approach to revolutionize waste management through the integration of advanced sensor technology and intelligent algorithms is proposed. Effective waste segregation is crucial in addressing the current needs. The main objective is to develop an efficient waste segregation system using various sensors to segregate degradable, non-recyclable, bio-medical waste, and organic-waste. A MCU unit with various types of sensors is used for segregation. A DC motor with conveyor belt is used to transfer wastes to respective bins, while an I2C connector with an LCD display is used to indicate the types of waste and whether the bin is filled or not. This research holds the potential to significantly mitigate environmental degradation and contribute to building a cleaner and more sustainable future. Based on the system’s performance, it can be extended to automated smart city waste management, and the skimming of crude-oil from ocean water.
