Abstract

This Waste segregation is the process of sorting and separating different types of waste in order to permit recycling and proper disposal. Technology businesses are attempting to address the garbage problem from a variety of angles, including improving recycling systems and developing novel materials for compostable single-use items. However, many people today do not adequately separate their waste, particularly in congested areas where people and transactions move at a rapid pace, such as malls, airports, local supermarkets, etc. The researchers propose a project termed A.T.O.M.S., or Automated Trash Organizing Management System, which is a Multi-sensorial Self Segregating Trash Bin that will be made up of several electronic components, sensors, and computer languages, and automatically classifies the waste being disposed of into specific classifications. As part of this ongoing study, the initial testing of the prototype manages to perform its initial function by detecting the type of trash and segregating it accordingly and properly. The results will have a positive impact on society since the waste management system is improved. Recommendations to modify the dimensions of some parts of the device and usage of alternative power were made. The implication of this research project is the contribution of innovative solutions toward waste management process enhancement.
