摘要：Industrialization, modernization, rapid advancements and increase in population have led to largegeneration of waste. Lack of improper disposal scheme in the country has headed the problem of accumulation ofwastes. Due to this waste lies littered in the surrounding, dumped on open lands and this becomes major home forvarious types of disease causing bacteria and viruses which is why waste management is of vital importance.Segregation makes it possible to reuse and recycle the waste effectively. This paper proposes implementation of anautomated waste segregator at household level using PIC16F877 microcontroller, to control the entire process with easeand simplicity. The sensing unit consists of an IR (Infrared) sensor, a moisture sensor and a metal sensor used to detectand identify various types of waste respectively. The main architecture of the segregator comprises of three prominentstages consisting of an IR sensor, a metal sensor, a moisture sensor and the segregation bins. The IR sensor detects thearrival of waste. Identification and separation of waste is done by sensors. The microcontroller controls all the activityof sensors. Results have presented segregation of waste into metal, wet and dry waste.
