Smart Waste Segregation and Management Using IOT

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept in which the interconnection is done via the internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data [1]. The initial technical realization of IoT was done by RFID which is used in identification and tracking of devices [5]. Due to the merits and characteristics of IoT, it plays an important role and has its applications in many fields including waste management. This paper proposes a smart waste segregation system composed of smart garbage bags, various sensors, software and hardware. The segregation of waste plays a very crucial role in waste management. Basically, waste can be divided into degradable and further it can be divided into different categories subjected to further use. This waste can be subjected to recycling and can be further used. Waste can be served as a source many times. This paper proposes the effective resource utilization by segregating and managing the waste.

Keywords: Garbage Segregation, Smart Garbage System, Smart Garbage Bin, Automatic Waste Segregation, Segregating Wastes, Waste Management.
