Abstract -The Waste Segregation System project introduces an innovative approach to modernise waste management systems through automation and sensor-based technology. At its core, the project focuses on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of waste segregation processes by integrating metal sensors and fill level detection mechanisms into traditional dustbins. As individuals approach the dustbin to dispose of their waste, the system activates automatically, with the lid opening to facilitate disposal. Upon detection, the system intelligently segregates these metallic items into a dedicated compartment within the dustbin. This segregation is crucial for facilitating the recycling of metal components, thereby contributing to resource conservation and sustainability. By combining sensor technology, automation, and real-time feedback mechanisms, the project aims to streamline waste segregation processes, promote recycling efforts, and contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
