This IoT project is aimed to solve the major issue faced all over the world which is the manual seggregation of waste materials from a common waste produced by households.

The "WASTE_SEGGREGATOR.ino" file is used to interface one infrared sensors with both IR transmitter and IR Reciever and one Inductive proximity sensor with two Servo motors.

When the waste product is kept ahead of the sensors, if Both Inductive proximity sensor and IR sensor give a positive output, then the servo motor opens the lid of the Trashcan which collects the metal wastes for recycling.

If only the IR sensor gives a positive output and the Inductive Proximity sensor doesnot provide any output, this means that the waste product is non-metallic and hence the servo motor opens the lid of the Trashcan which collects the non-metallic wastes for disposal.

This project can be universally modified and applied according to the various needs. For example when a in a fast food restaurant we can modify the project to test the waste using Capacitive Proximity sensor which tests for Plastic wastes.
