Most people don’t ignore recycling intentionally — it’s usually because sorting waste every single time becomes tiring. So instead of expecting humans to do it perfectly, I tried automating the process. This project Automatic Waste Segregation System uses an Arduino UNO Q, computer vision, and a simple servo mechanism to automatically detect and sort waste in real time. And honestly, watching trash sort itself feels way cooler than it should. What This Project Does The system uses a USB camera to identify objects like: Paper Plastic Cardboard Batteries Once detected: A servo motor rotates to direct the waste into the correct section A buzzer alerts the user if a battery is detected The whole thing works automatically. No buttons. No manual sorting.…
