Abstract The increasing number of electronic devices has created an ever-growing amount of electronic waste (e-waste) and caused serious problems for both the environment and human health. Traditional waste management systems are inefficient because they use manual sorting methods which are difficult and prone to mistakes. A Smart E-Waste Bin is proposed which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and computer vision for automating the detection of e-waste and sorting it.
The bins utilize a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to classify waste into three categories (Electronic, Plastic, and Metal), and they incorporate an ultrasonic sensor for detecting when e-waste is placed in the bin as well as a camera to provide images for the classification of e-waste. After identifying the classification of waste, the microcontroller activates the servo motors to sort the waste into the appropriate compartment. In addition, the bins are connected to a cloud server for real-time monitoring and data analysis purposes. The proposed bin improves accuracy and reduces the amount of human work needed to efficiently manage e-waste; therefore, this solution is also well-suited for use in smart cities.
