| description | Nowadays, insufficient landfills problem had increased the
needs to decrease the waste and recycling them. However,
despite the efforts done by the government and local
authorities on promoting recycling culture by introducing new
laws and regulations, the awareness and willingness among the
community is still low. One of the possible reasons to this is
lack of effort to categorize the waste into the designated
category which are paper, glass, plastic and metal. In order to
address this problem, it is important to design a system that
will ease the process of categorizing the waste. This can be
achieve by the automation of the said process. In this work, a
system consist of an algorithm and hardware to automatically
categorize recyclable waste is proposed. The proposed system
are utilizing weight sensor and ultrasonic sensors in order to
capture the characteristics of the waste item, which are weight
and size so that it can be categorized into paper, glass, plastic
and metal. Here, an algorithm to compensate minimum usage
of hardware, namely the type and number of sensors is
presented. |
