Smart Wet and Dry Waste Management System Using IoT

Abstract: Waste management is one of the important aspects when it comes to avoiding diseases caused by unsegregated waste. Many people have lesser knowledge about what is wet and dry waste. The escalating global waste generation hasled to a pressing need for innovative waste management solutions that are efficient, sustainable, and technologically advanced. This abstract introduces a "Smart Dry and Wet Waste Management System" that leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) to revolutionize waste management practices. Traditional waste management systems often lack real-time monitoring and optimization capabilities, resultingin inefficiencies, environmental concerns, and increased operational costs. The proposed system aims to address these challenges by integrating IoT technologies, sensor networks, and data analytics into waste collection and disposal processes.The main objective is to automate the segregation system thereby removing the human intervention. The hardware components such as Arduino, sensors, LCD are used to build the system. The integration of IoT in waste management contributes to a cleaner environment, reduced operational costs, and increased overall efficiency. By preventing overflows, minimizing unnecessary collection trips, and promoting recycling practices, the system aligns with sustainable waste management goals. Moreover, the collected data can be analyzed over time to identify longterm trends, enabling continuous optimization of waste management strategies..
