Abstract

This project aims to design and develop an automated trash sorting bin that utilizes using Microcontroller technology. The escalating global concern over waste management necessitates innovative solutions. Despite the importance of recycling and waste sorting, traditional methods prove labor-intensive and prone to contamination. This project addresses the challenge by developing a smart trash sorting system using IR, proximity, and water drop sensors. The bin can sort various types of waste materials namely metal, wet and dry, thus making waste management easier and more efficient. By using IR sensor, proximity metal sensor and water drop sensor to detect different type of materials, the rotating trash shorting machine will automatically sorts the materials into separate containers. The ESP32 is used to control and manage the sorting process. The system is designed to be user-friendly and easy to operate, making it ideal for use in various settings such as homes, offices, and public places. This project was develop an IoT system which is to sending a notification to a smartphone to notice if the trash is full by using Blynk application. Using an Ultrasonic sensor makes it achievable to detect how much trash is in the container. Employees will be duly informed and empowered to take appropriate measures in response. The project demonstrates the potential of using automation technology to address waste management challenges and promote sustainability.
