In our day to day life we face environmental challenges associated with waste generation and inadequate waste collection, transport, treatment and disposal. The waste treatment process takes crucial procedures to segregate waste materials into reusable material. To separate reusable particles from E-waste, wet waste, plastic waste, metal waste are monitored and segregated using this System. In this paper, we propose a method where the waste particles are moving in the conveyor belt and they are detected using sensors. This System enables an IoT based waste monitoring system using Thing speak,which is an open IoT platform. This system consists of an Arduino microcontroller, a set of sensors and a Wi-Fi module. The Arduino microcontroller receives data from the sensors like IR sensor, proximity sensor, ultrasonic sensor and load cell. The wastes are detected and pulled to the respective dustbins. The depth of the garbage in the bin is measured using an ultrasonic sensor and the weight of the bin with garbage is measured from the load cell. The LCD screen is used to display the data. The Wi-Fi module transmits the above data to the internet. An open IoT platform Thingspeak is used to monitor the garbage system. IOT combined with smart dustin helps the administrator to monitor and schedule garbage collection more efficiently. Finally, the blockchain technology supports sharing the information among stakeholders to analyze and take action appropriately.
