Abstract:This research work focuses on the application of IoT (Internet of Things) in the field of waste recycling. We propose an energy efficient and low cost prototype system for a recycling bin. In an attempt to ease sorting during waste disposal, the system identifies the type of waste material which is being discarded and automatically opens the corresponding bin. Being battery operated and providing real-time service imply that downtime due to power shortage must be kept at a minimum. Our approach focuses on a no… Show more
