Every year, 62 million tons of garbage is generated in India, and 45 million tons of that waste is disposed of in an unhygienic manner, resulting in serious health consequences and environmental distress. In smart cities, an efficient waste management system is crucial. To address the current issues, this paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) based waste management system which aims to segregate the waste materials of different streams such as wet, dry, plastic, paper, metal, and glass. It increases the potential for recovery and consequent recycling processes. This system is implemented using Arduino microcontroller, which controls the entire process with ease and simplicity. This segregator system consists of various stages including of infrared sensor, inductive proximity sensor, rain drop sensor, photoelectric sensor, and the segregation bins. Each waste is detected by the relevant sensor and drops into the bins allocated to it for further processing. The status of the segregated data is made available in the cloud for monitoring and controlling purposes. These enabled policies empower cities to manage waste collection effectively.
