The biodegradable segment is equipped with sensors to detect microbes and
their activities are controlled by chemical treatment when the indicator specifies
alarming levels. Methane gas is `produced in the biodegradable segment and the
same is sensed by the gas sensor and odour controller is used to spray the liquid
when the methane gas reaches a particular value. Wi-Fi module is connected to
the data service, to continuously monitor the threshold level of the waste in the
dustbin. Once the wastes reach the threshold level, message is sent to the user,
as that particular segment is filled and it has to be disposed. STM32 controller is
used to carry out all the activities in the dustbin.

Pereira, Wet al [4]proposed a Smart Bin allows us to effectively and
cleanly dispose of the waste. The automatic door opening system ensures that
garbage disposal by the humans is completely hands- free and therefore
extremely hygienic since there is no con- tact established with the bin. Waste
thrown away is sorted according to its capacitance. Wet waste has significantly
larger capacitance than dry waste and plastic and hence it is easily
distinguishable. Plastic has different reflective proper- ties than other dry waste
and therefore infrared spectroscopy is the most suitable method to distinguish
plastic from other dry waste.

C. P, M. G., Yadav et al[2] proposed a fully automated waste
management system to implement waste segregation. The method adopted is
computer vision and deep learning paired with an internet of thing (IOT) system
that is capable of segregating municipal waste into Organic and Recyclable
waste. Eliminating manual segregation in the process of waste management
significantly reduces the risk to the health of municipal workers by preventing
the contraction as well as the spread of transmissible diseases. Automation will
also increase the speed while significantly reducing the cost of the waste
segregation process. This study was conducted in order to ideate and bring to
life innovative and sustainable ideas for effective waste management systems
with little to no human intervention
