Abstract: Waste management is a critical challenge in modern society, especially with the increasing amount of municipal waste generated daily. Traditional waste segregation methods are mostly manual, time-consuming, and often lead to improper disposal due to lack of awareness and human error. Improper segregation of wet and dry waste can cause environmental pollution, health hazards, and inefficient recycling processes. To address these issues, this project presents a microcontroller-based Smart Trash Segregation System that automates the process of waste classification using sensors. The proposed system improves accuracy, efficiency, and hygiene while reducing human intervention in waste handling. In this project, different sensors such as an IR sensor and a moisture sensor are used to detect the presence and type of waste. When waste is placed in the system, the IR sensor detects the object, and the moisture sensor analyzes its moisture content to determine whether it is wet or dry waste. The sensor data is processed by a microcontroller like the Arduino Uno, which makes decisions based on predefined threshold values. According to the classification, a servo motor is activated to direct the waste into the appropriate bin. A display unit such as an LCD provides real-time feedback by showing messages like “Wet Waste” or “Dry Waste,” enhancing user interaction. The Smart Trash Segregation System offers a cost-effective, reliable, and user-friendly solution for efficient waste management. It can be implemented in homes, public places, and institutions to promote proper waste disposal practices. The system also provides a foundation for future enhancements such as IoT-based monitoring and advanced waste classification techniques, making it a scalable and environmentally beneficial solution.
