The problem Smart Waste Segregation and Management solves

Due to lack of responsibilities a lot of money is being wasted just to segregate the waste but here we come up with a solution to segregate the waste automatically using arduino sensors where user will drop the waste at a certain chamber and our algorithm will automatically detect the type of waste and segregate the waste. Hence for the user, there is nothing to think about it. And we have also included a LCD Display where the saturation level will be warned to the user and using a wi-fi module we can send the saturation level to the server of authority from where we can easily manage the waste. Hence we can build up a very cost effective solution to segregate waste.

Challenges we ran into

1. If user drops multiple type of waste at a time then our method will not work
2. First we estimated the cost after the design and it was around 800-900 INR but later we realised that 40% of the estimated cost is due to Arduino Mega , hence we reduced the number of port by proper way to make our algorithm more effective and thus we last came to a fruitful solution by using Arduino UNO Board which can eventually decrease the cost by 300 INR and hence the product estimated cost is in the range of 500-600 INR
