        abstract = {This project is about combusting a waste to produce an electricity. This waste to energy uses trash as a fuel such as waste from home, companies and school and hospitals etc. As in today’s time solid waste have been a major problems for pollution. Electricity has been generated from various ways and using various fuels so, a main objective of our project is to burn down the waste and convert it into electricity from light energy through a solar panel and supply it to various sources while controlling the pollution using a pollution control filter, roller filter. The main goal is to reduce pollution, recycle and reuse garbage and eventually generate electricity from wastes. This project presents an innovative approach for the generation of electrical energy from waste materials by utilizing the light energy produced during waste burning and supplementing it with solar energy. The generated energy is converted into electrical power using solar panels and stored in a 12V rechargeable battery. An ESP8266 microcontroller is used for monitoring purposes, where the generated voltage is measured using a voltage sensor and displayed on an LCD with I2C interface. The stored energy is further utilized for operating an automatic street light system using a 12V LED and Light Dependent Resistor (LDR). The system operates efficiently, focusing on real-time monitoring and automation. This project contributes to sustainable waste management, renewable energy utilization, and energy-efficient public lighting systems.},
