An AI-Driven Self-Sustained Approach for Redefining Urban Waste Management

Abstract

The growing world population is putting a lot of strain on the environment, which is causing a daily increase in the amount of trash produced. Trash management is a major concern for developing nations in particular, since it requires effective trash segregation and timely collection. Trash of important resources results from improper trash sorting. Waste may build up and perhaps leak dangerous chemicals if it is not separated properly. This can contaminate soil and emit hazardous gasses like methane. This chapter presents the SmartBin, an innovative garbage container that separates waste at the source automatically and without the need for human interaction. Furthermore, when SmartBin fills to capacity, it is programmed to alert trash collection facilities automatically. The purpose of implementing SmartBin is to solve the problems associated with waste segregation and help build a society that is more ecologically conscious and sustainable for smart city.
