ncrease of human population is proportion to waste
generation. As the waste generation increasing rapidly,
the effect is significant towards humanity, wildlife and the
environment. Since it is impossible to reduce the number
of wastes produced, a better handling system of waste is
introduced which is recycling. Recycling is a good solution as
3/5 from 13.5 million metrics tonne waste generated yearly in
Malaysia are recyclable materials but it is hard to implement
as not everyone has a morale to practice this in their everyday
life. To overcome this problem, development intelligent waste
management system is proposed in this study. This product is
a garbage bin, integrated with a microprocessor along with
hardware’s to ease the process of sorting recyclable wastes. It
is easy to use as the device is turned on; the Camera is scans
the rubbish, then image is sent to microprocessor and upload
the image online using Google API platform to be analysed.
Once it is identified, it sends back data to microprocessor to
analyse and determine the type of waste. Amotorized flapwill
then push the item into the designated compartments. For the
purpose of power efficiency management, the device will turn
to sleep mode once the process is completed. The proposed
product in this study has never been commercialized andmost
of the bin available are either automated or used mainly to
monitor. Apart from that, the bin friendly ecosystem provides
an easy to maintain system.
