DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The disclosed subject matter relates generally to the concept of garbage disposal. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system and method for automated collection and disposal of garbage.

BACKGROUND
[002] Cleanliness has gained significant importance given the emerging environmental issues. Post-pandemic (covid 19), the significance of cleanliness has taken the next level of importance. Many water bodies in and around habitations, especially in the urban areas have been almost eaten up by the waste being disposed of in them. This has led to the growth of weeds and a total lack of oxygen in the water bodies leading to the death of organisms and the spread of foul odour in the inhabited limits.

[003] The biggest challenge is cleaning up these water bodies, which is not possible manually. There have been garbage collection systems in the past, and some are still functioning, but they have either mobility issues or too much dependency on manual power.

[004] In the light of the aforementioned discussion, there exists a need for system with novel methodologies that will overcome the above-mentioned challenges.

The method 300 may be carried out in the context of the details of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. However, the method 300 may also be carried out in any desired environment. Further, the aforementioned definitions may equally apply to the description below.

[0042] The method commences at step 302, moving the vehicle equipped with the integrated floating platform to the periphery of water bodies. Thereafter at step 304, activating the screen mesh of the floating platform through the gear unit to collect debris from the water bodies. Thereafter at step 306, crushing the collected debris by the grinding screen and transferring the crushed debris to the screw conveyor. Thereafter at step 308, washing the crushed debris by the screw conveyor and sending wastewater into the drain. Thereafter at step 310, transferring the washed debris into a screw compactor by the screw conveyor. Thereafter at step 312, compacting the washed debris into fine pieces and delivering compacted fine pieces of debris into the vehicle bin by the screw compactor through the conveyor.

[0043] In accordance with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the vehicle may include the garbage collection and disposal system attached to it. Thus, the method involves moving of the vehicle 102 at the periphery of the water body to collect the trash where the floating platform 114 (mobile trash collector) is attached to the vehicle. The screen mesh 202 may be activated in the floating platform 114 (mobile trash collector) based on the trash load. Rotating the entire screen mesh 202 in 360 degrees mode is done in order to take the trash up and then take the collected trash to go via the grinding screen 120. There are some bigger objects obtained while the trash is collected. Hence, grinding the bigger objects obtained in the trash is done to smaller ones with the inbuilt grinding mechanism in the system. The obtained debris is followed from the grinded trash through screw conveyor 106, and the debris is washed through an inbuilt washing mechanism. Finally, the wastewater obtained after washing the debris is drained into the drain and the washed debris is sent to the compactor for compacting. The compacted debris may be sent to a bin in the vehicle via the conveyor 124 for disposal to a solid waste site.
