Abstract

The increasing population in Malaysia causes unsustainable waste generation. Malaysia must improve traditional waste management and reduce waste disposal in landfills. Nearly half of Malaysians are aware of environmental issues and recycling, as well as knowing waste segregation. Concurrently, traditional waste collection is low productivity compared to checking and emptying bins individually. The interactive automatic smart bin system is suggested as the solution. The smart bin can increase user engagement and encourage proper waste segregation behaviours, moreover, stays available by remotely monitoring the bin status and sending to the waste collectors. The proposed system classifies the class of waste based on images captured. The bin senses the type of recyclable waste such as paper, plastic, and metal, as well as the trash. Then, automatically sort the waste to dispose of in the appropriate bin. Thus, users don't have to worry about which bins to throw. The system is integrated with Wi-Fi to communicate with the bins. When the bin is full, the system will send a notification to waste collectors. Therefore, the waste collection uses less manpower, fuel cost, and time consumption.
