Rapid population growth has also contributed to an increase in the amount of waste produced on a regular basis. This rise in waste production due to ongoing growth in urbanisation and industrialization has been a major problem for local and national governments. It is still a major issue for municipal authorities to handle the garbage being dumped everywhere as a landfill. In order to ensure a low risk to the atmosphere and human health, conscientious steps must be taken when segregating and distributing waste. Segregation of waste in a proper way brings to light the true economic importance of the waste. The conventional approach used to segregate waste in India is by means of rag pickers, which are time consuming and can have detrimental effects on the health of people who are exposed to such waste. Here we suggest the use of an Auto Waste Segregator (AWS) that is inexpensive and also an easy-to-use solution for segregating household waste. It is designed to divide the waste into two groups. Clean wet waste. The machine uses the Wet sensor for the isolation of wet and dry waste and the Moisture sensor for the detection of dry waste and the LCD monitor to indicate the effect of the separation.
