In recent year’s collection and segregation of waste is the major challenge faced by all metropolitan cities worldwide; this is due to the rapid increase in population, industrialization and urbanization. There is lack of knowledge about segregation of waste at the domestic level. The major problems faced due to improper waste management include health hazards to human kind, environmental issues etc. The main objective of this paper is effective and efficient methods of waste collection and segregation at domestic level based on their nature of composition i.e. metal, plastic and organic, the waste is stored accordingly in their respective segments of the dustbin. Picking up garbage from the public areas such as on street corners, in parks or on campuses consumes more resources because workers have to drive their large vehicles to every garbage collection point to check if bin is full or not. The use of sensor integrated waste segregations saves a lot of fuel and work hours. In this paper, an approach linking the basic electronic sensors to garbage collectors will be resulting in saving the fuel, work hours and money. In this approach, sensors are placed in the rotating conveyor belts and bins located at public areas, to detect the types of waste and to sense the level of the garbage in the bin. When garbage reaches the threshold limit, the status of the bin is updated in the cloud, and this status can be accessed by the concerned authorities and an immediate measure can be taken for the cost-effective disposal. So, continuous monitoring of garbage bins will helps to keep environment clean and safe.
