Automated Waste Segregation Bin with IoT-based Mobile Monitoring Application

Abstract

This paper is about an automated waste bin that segregates waste into three divisions: wet, dry, and metal. The automated waste bin uses inductive, capacitive, proximity sensors and an Arduino Mega microcontroller board. Utilizing IoT (Internet of Things), the system will relay information to its user through a mobile application. The application shows if the bin is operating. It also indicates the bin's current level capacity, whether it is already full or not. The prototype was able to function as intended and has a 90% reading for accuracy and precision in its overall system.
