Abstract: The rapid urbanization has contributed to a high level of generation of municipal solid waste and therefore, efficient waste segregation is necessary. In this paper, a low cost GSM enabled smart dustbin is designed and implemented in automated separation of biodegradable and non- biodegradable waste using embedded system technology. The suggested system employs the method of an ultrasonic sensor to detect the waste and a moisture sensor to classify the waste according to the preset threshold values. The sensor data is processed on an Arduino Uno microcontroller and a servo motor that directs the waste into the correct compartments. GSM module comes with real time SMS notifications to monitor remotely even without the internet. The classification accuracy and response time of 80.55 percent and an average response time of 1.5 seconds were attained with the use of 36 waste samples through experimental evaluation. The proposed system is a reliable and less expensive solution insmall-scale smart waste management application.
