Smart Waste Segregation System Using Arduino UNO

  • Abstract:
  • The exponential rise in urban waste generation has emphasized the need for efficient and automated waste segregation systems. Manual waste segregation is often ineffective, labor - intensive, and poses health risks. This project presents a Smart Waste Segregation System that utilizes embedded electronics and sensor-based automation to classify and segregate dry and wet waste. The system integrates Arduino Uno, IR sensors, a moisture sensor, a servo motor, an LCD display, and a buzzer to achieve real-time, intelligent segregation. Simulations and physical testing validate the system’s reliability. The project aims to improve sanitation, reduce landfill load, and promote sustainable waste management practices.
