Abstract

In Malaysia, most of the rivers and channels cross the residential area. In the early days, rivers and channels were clear and not polluted. However, due to development activities, the river has been polluted especially at the residential area. This project is about the waste trap and the removal system that really needed to overcome problem of pollution. A waste trap system will be designed and developed in order to trap all the rubbish/sediment contained in the water flow in the monsoon drain. Removal system will be included to remove the rubbish that has been trapped, to a container. This project consists of both mechanical and electrical part of the system. The mechanical part will be controlled by using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). When the container is fully loaded, it will automaticaUy put/throw the trapped rubbish into another container. This project is suitable to be used either in monsoon drain or river. Litter and rubbish will be trapped before the water flow get into the sea. These actions can avoid from the bad smell and water pollution. From the study has made the implementation of the rubbish traps is one of the best methods to control the floating waste materials in the rivers in order to reduce pollution.
