The escalating issues of waste generation and management, particularly concerning urban dwellers' attitudes, are critically examined in this paper. Through the administration of 150 questionnaires, insights into waste classes, disposal frequency, and evacuation methods were gathered. To tackle this, we propose an automated waste segregator using ATmega328/Arduino, sorting waste into metal, plastic, and organic categories. This innovation minimizes manual labor and time, enhancing efficiency at treatment plants. A user-friendly website aids waste collection, while specialized dumpsters streamline gathering. Post-collection, the system optimizes resource usage and promotes environmental sustainability. Our goal is to revolutionize waste management, emphasizing recycling and societal benefits.
