Smart Garbage Segregation & Monitoring System using Internet of Things (IoT)

The Smart Garbage Monitoring System using IoT is an innovative solution designed to address the growing problem of waste management. The system integrates a camera connected to a laptop to identify and classify waste into wet, dry, and other categories. Once classified, an ESP8266 microcontroller controls a 3D-printed linear actuator powered by MG995 servos, which segregates the waste into respective bins. Each bin is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor to monitor the garbage level. This data is relayed to a Flask-based web application, where users can track the fill levels of the bins in real-time and generate service requests for garbage collection. The system also allows garbage collectors to close requests once the waste is picked up. By automating waste segregation and monitoring, this system promotes efficient waste management, reduces human intervention, and supports environmental sustainability.
