Abstract - Effective waste management is a critical challenge in modern urban environments due to the exponential growth in population, consumption, and industrial activity. This project report presents the design, development, and implementation of an automated Waste Segregation System aimed at improving efficiency in waste disposal and recycling processes. The proposed system integrates mechanical and electronic components, including sensors, microcontrollers (such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi), and conveyance systems to automatically segregate waste into biodegradable, non-biodegradable, and recyclable categories.

The system utilizes moisture sensors, Infrared sensors, and inductive sensors to identify different types of waste materials based on their physical and chemical properties. Once identified, the waste is directed into the appropriate bin using mechanical arms or conveyor-based diverters. This reduces human intervention, minimizes health risks, and promotes cleaner and safer environments

This project also addresses the socio-environmental impact of poor waste management practices and emphasizes the importance of sustainable urban development. The implementation of this system in residential complexes, institutions, and municipalities can significantly reduce landfill accumulation, increase recycling rates, and support eco-friendly initiatives. In conclusion, the Waste Segregation System represents a scalable and intelligent solution to one of the most pressing urban challenges, with promising implications for environmental conservation and resource optimization.
