Abstract

A Smart Recycle Reward Bin serves as the prototype for a Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) is a cutting-edge idea introduced to western nations to assist in collecting recyclable materials as a result of promoting recycling activities. A reverse vending machine provides an effective, convenient and incentive option to recycle beverage containers. With the help of the RVM prototype, users may earn rewards while recycling aluminium, plastic and paper containers. The container material is identified by the sensor system and it is subsequently deposited into the appropriate bins through the hole. The type of material of the beverage container determines the amount of points awarded for recycling. The total point is added up before being stored in their mobile application. In order to update the latest point, a database will be used. The program includes a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). Authorized personal and user also will be notified every time the waste reach the maximum level through the mobile apps. The proposed project will provide practical insight into better managing waste disposal to reduce pollution and landfills saturation.
