Present invention proposed a vision assisted controller for waste segregation in a community system. In some cases, waste management companies may use inefficient collection methods, resulting in mixed pickups and delays in garbage removal. Many people are not aware of the proper way to dispose of different type of waste leading to contamination of recycling streams or improper disposal of hazardous material. People also face problems to find an available empty dustbin nearby. A smart dustbin connected with a server, which is a sustainable and efficient solution for waste management. The smart dustbin is equipped with sensors and a Wi-Fi module, which enables it to transmit real-time data to a server. The server can use this data to optimize waste collection and management, reduce costs, and promote sustainability. The smart dustbin is powered by a solar panel, making it environmentally friendly and cost-effective. The sensors in the dustbin can detect the fill level and type of waste, which is transmitted to the server. The server can then analyze this data to determine the optimal collection route and schedule. And also inform the users about the data of the dustbin via an application through the server. By categorizing waste as dry or wet, the camera sensor can enable more efficient waste disposal. Dry waste can be directed to recycling centers, while wet waste can be processed and disposed of in a more appropriate manner, such as composting or landfill. By using solar power, the smart dustbin can reduce its carbon footprint and help to minimize the use of non-renewable energy sources. The locking of the lid after the 90% filled space is helpful in preventing overfilling, reducing odor’s and keeping the space clean. By tracking the fill level of each dustbin and identifying areas where bins tend to fill up quickly, the system could help waste management companies plan more efficient collection routes, reducing the amount of time and resources needed to collect garbage. The notification and mapping system on the user’s mobile application makes it more convenient for users to find empty dustbins nearby, reducing the time and unnecessary effort required to dispose of waste. The data received from the smart dustbin can be analyzed to identify patterns and trends in waste management. This can help to inform future waste management strategies and promote sustainability.
