Smart Bin (Waste Segregation and Optimisation)

Smart bin has multiple features and its main feature is garbage segregation. Smart bin will have 4 different compartments for the waste: for plastic waste, for wet waste, for dry waste and lastly for the wastewater from the auto clean feature. Apart from this, it will also have ultrasound sensors for the bin to open when a person approaches the dustbin to throw garbage thus making it hands-free and evidently more hygienic. The smart bin will also have an analysis done to tell the user the amount and type of garbage they dispose of. Daily, weekly and monthly garbage disposal will be analyzed through graphs and data through live data reception. The bin will alsohave a reminder sent to the phone from the app connected tothe bin to tell us that it is time to throw the garbage. This idea will help us dispose of the wastes separately and thus also be able to distinguish the recyclable and non-recyclable waste. The smart bin is an efficient and hygienic waste disposal and segregation system which will eventually help in wasteoptimization.
