INNOVATIVE PRACTICES: WMP

DUSTBIN FOR OFFICE USE

 OBJECTIVE

The objective of doing this project is to help people in office spaces

to segregate the garbage.
Since many people do not know the proper segregation of waste
products, the innovative project made by our group will help them
to seperate wet waste and dry waste in office.
This segregation of waste will help later, when the garbage is
passed on for decomposition and recycling.
 INTRODUCTION

Dustbin is a very important and essential part of our Daily lives.

A Dustbin is especially important in an office environment.

In todays time, it is very important to segregate the garbage
produced.
Hence, it is very important to have at least two garbage bins.One for
the paper waste and one for the plastic waste.
 TYPES OF BINS USED IN OFFICE
SPACES

It is very important that we put our waste in the dustbin which is specially designed
for a particular type of waste.
Since things like paper, cardboard are recyclable, we should always put these waste in
the recyclable dustbin which is usually green in colour or in the dustbin which has
paper written on it.
Since objects like pen are made of plastic, they are non biodegradable and hence
should be put in dustbins which are especially used for disposing non biodegradable
waste. The dustbins used for non biodegradable waste are usually blue in colour or
has plastic written on it.
Non biodegradable wastes are classified as dry waste while biodegradable wastes are
classified as wet waste.
 LITERATURE SURVEY
A survey was conducted by our team in order to get data about the
awareness of people regarding segregation of garbage waste.
The following are the results from that survey:
 INNOVATIVE IDEAS FOR DUSTBIN

One of the ideas we can use is using a dustbin which has both (the
biodegradable and the non biodegradable section) together in order
to minimize the space used by the dustbin in the office.
 INNOVATIVE IDEAS

Another Innovative idea based on the results from the survey

conducted is designing a dustbin in office spaces which can
automatically segregate garbage.
This type of dustbin is especially useful for people who do not
know the type of waste (whether wet or dry) they are putting in the
dustbin.
This type of dustbin can be made by connecting moisture sensor
and a motor to a plate which is then attatched to the rim of the
dustbin.
DESIGN
 CONSTRUCTION

In order to bring this innovative design to life, we will need a few

basic tools:
1. Arduino Uno kit
2. 9 V Battery
3. Motor
4. Wires
 CONSTRUCTION
1. Connect the ultrasonic sensor , the 9 V battery and
the motor to the three different terminals of the
arduino uno kit by using wires.
2. Now, program the arduino uno kit.
3. Attach this whole setup to the rim of the dustbin.
4. Finally cover this setup from inside the dustbin by
so that the circuit does not get damaged by some
liquids that may be put in the garbage bin.
 PROGRAMMING
Once the Ultrasonic sensor, the 9V battery and the Motor is connected
to the three terminals of the Arduino Uno kit, Programme the kit in
such a way that when a waste is put on top of the rim, the ultrasonic
sensor should sense its properties and the send the code to the motor to
open either one of its flaps, depending on the type of waste.
For eg: When a dry waste is kept on top of the rim, the ultrasonic
sensor senses its properties and sends the signal to the motor to open
the dry waste flap. Similar case will be for wet waste
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES
1. Very convenient for user
2. Very helpful for people who do not
know the difference between dry and wet
waste
3. Nature and user friendly
4. Can be cost effective in mass
production
DISADVANTAGES
1. Needs battery to operate
2. The ultrasonic sensor may malfunction
after some time and may need
replacement.
3. The motor can get stuck
4. Circuit wires may give shock if not
properly insulated
 CONCLUSION
Hence, this proves that segregating the garbage can be very easy
and cost effective and can greatly help the environment. Both the
ideas in the ppt presented are easy to use, are user and nature
friendly and helps us towards leading a easy and convenient future.
