Sistem Cerdas Pemilah Sampah Logam Non-Logam dan Penghitung Volume Sampah

Currently, human awareness to dispose of waste is not in accordance with the type of waste in its place, so all types of waste are mixed. The mixing of various types of waste can damage or reduce the value of materials that can be reused, especially metal-based waste which has a high selling value. By sorting the waste according to the type of waste, the recycling process can be carried out. Therefore, in this paper an innovation is made for a trash can that can separate metal and non-metallic types of waste automatically. The way this system works is that it is placed in an initial shelter, then detected by a proximity sensor to determine whether the waste is metal or non-metallic. When garbage is detected, the garbage bin can drop the garbage into the metal bin with the help of a servo. Likewise with non-metallic waste. The volume of waste can be detected by ultrasonic sensors. If the volume of the trash can is at its maximum, the alarm can sound. Furthermore, the data on the volume of the trash can is transmitted by the wifi module to the application on the smartphone, so that the garbage officer can find out if the volume of waste reaches the maximum. After testing, the e-Separator system can be categorized as very good with an accuracy of sensor readings that are above 95% accuracy of distance accuracy in detecting volume which reaches more than 98%. The average delay of servo movement is faster than 5 seconds and the error percentage in sending data to applications reaches 0%.
