Everyone is having problems regarding garbage bins and dumping of garbage, leading to several fatal diseases. This is primarily caused by mixing of dry and wet waste, and mismanagement of the bins.

Innovation project

Challenge:

We can solve the problem by making an automatic garbage separation Dustbin, which separates dry waste and wet waste. The Machine is composed of microcontroller, a bin box with rotating plate on top, a moisture sensor and an infrared sensor will be planted on the plate and it detects whether the waste contains moisture or not. After this we would code the program in such a way that the wet waste always goes in the wet side of the dustbin chamber. If there is no moisture in the waste, the machine will understand its a dry waste which can lead to proper management of waste. This problem could save both time and labor.
