Abstract— Urban regions and metropolises have faced an increase in waste segregation problems owing to the rapid population growth. The accumulation of huge quantities of waste has led to health hazards for workers. Scientific studies show that their life expectancy of them including their offspring decreases. Indian waste is not directly segregated as wet or dry waste. The total solid waste generated in the Palghar district is 613.6 MT/D. This main problem is owed to the waste consisting of all types of materials such as metals, plastic, leftovers, etc. In India, Waste segregation is done manually by workers. The above factors and the living conditions of the workers call for an Automated Waste Segregation System at least in the initial stages of separation on the landfills. The proposed system focuses on an Automated Waste Segregation System using conveyor belt, washing unit and other techniques. It emphasizes hardware in tandem with apposite sensors to reduce incompetence and redundancy. In simple words, the proposed system aims to reduce human intervention involved in waste segregation using effective automation suitable for large-scale waste
