Abstract

Concentration of air pollutants exceeds levels associated with increased risk of health programs. In order to obtain a healthier quality of life with minimized health risks, a reduction of pollution is needed. A major factor of air pollution in urban cities is the burning of waste. Therefore, a reduction in pollution levels can be achieved by reducing waste. This paper discusses the design and implementation of a smart recycling bin (Enviro-Bin). The smart recycling bin filters the waste according to the following material types: metal, glass, and paper. Filtering waste according to material type will consequently lead to decreasing the amount of harmful gases produced from burning the waste and encourage recycling. The proposed prototype is an automated waste material filtering system that contains infrared sensors and two proximity sensors, an inductive sensor and a capacitive one, to determine the presence and type of material. Moreover, each compartment includes an IR sensor to detect the level of the waste in the container.
