Abstract

As we all know, the fast rise of the Earth's population and the advancement of contemporary living have made environmental issues one of the most pressing concerns today. The only way to build a sustainable environment is to recycle everything that would otherwise wind up in the trash and turn it into something entirely new. We will be able to replace the conventional approaches to treating both old and new waste problems to achieve smart waste management with AI and machine learning. Increasing recycling rates was a global challenge since it can be difficult for consumers to determine which things can be recycled and which cannot. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to develop smart recycling bins for waste sorting. The objective of this project is to design and develop smart recycling bins using Arduino UNO for waste sorting. For smart recycling bins, in operation is using a sensor to make a sorting system to identify the trash based on metal, plastic and paper. This project also focuses more on the users using this smart recycle bin in homes. This smart recycle bin used an Arduino Uno as a microcontroller to control input and output system and it use a several sensors to create a sorting system such as inductive proximity sensor to detect metal-based waste, light dependent sensor (LDR) to detect the presence of plastic and paper based that can be integrated into the smart bin. Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect the level of bin usage. According to the study, smart recycle bins with automated isolation are more beneficial for usage by everyone. This intelligent container can be used by the users to inspire them to practice recycling habits. In a word, this approach effectively diverts waste, helps more people recycle and enhances the recycling bin system
