Semi-Automated Metallic Waste Segregation
System

Abstract: The important challenge faced by developing smart
cities is the processing of waste materials. The increasing amount
of WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) makes
their disposal a difficult situation to handle. WEEE is an
economical instrument as the wastes consists more of key metals
which are economically valuable. Due to separation of different
types of key metals available and the restoration of the key metals
being difficult the disposal of WEEE becomes hassle. The aim of
this paper is to separate the key metals from the waste, weigh
them and credit the corresponding amount to the particular
citizen who disposes the waste.
Keywords: WEEE Disposal
I. INTRODUCTION
Due to increase in population and rapid development of
urban cities the management of waste materials becomes
one of the most important factors that affect the economy.
Due to the lack of efficient waste removal systems it
becomes a challenge for the government to keep the cities
clean. Thus solving such problems involves different social,
economic and technical aspects to come together. The
growth of technology and the rising need for waste disposal
brings in the presence of IoT and RF-ID. It is better to
collect waste rather than to leave it in the dustbin as a full
bin may result in dramatic consequences.
II. RELATED WORK
In [1] the authors have proposed that IoT is being used for
providing efficient ways of tracking garbage truck routes.
The algorithm is implemented within simulation frame work
which is available as open source for future extensions.
In [2] the author explains about multiple criteria decision
deciding approach for the important and convenient support
tools for garbage management.
In [3] the authors have discussed about the different health
outcomes due to landfills incineration wastes and nuclear
installation dumps. Waste management facilities are
arranged in high population residing areas which will
provide direct access to human exposure measurements and
supported by information on health effect bio markers.
In [4] the author has detailed a frame work about the
problems of garbage collection and this paper tells about the
optimisation vehicle routes for collecting solid wastes. The
author provides solution for the adaptation of real life waste
collection problems.

Different implementation methods for the reduction of
memory usage has been discussed.
In [5] the authors have discusses about the impacts of smart
city which enhances the quality of living. This paper
provides the areas of natural resources and energy and the
economy of people. The paper gives an understanding of
urban, geographical and demographic wastes. This provides
geographical location which gives an impact on smart city
strategy.
In [6] the authors have proposed about absorbing huge
amount of resources and having major environmental
impact. This helps members in the authority to attain cost
effective methods of waste recovering. This provides an
updated survey of solid waste management and has a wide
bibliographic coverage and provides relationship between
various problems.
In [7] author compares municipal solid waste management
methods in different countries and finds the important
reasons for waste disposal. It provides literature on
municipal solid waste logistics and compares issues
addressed in various other research agenda.
In [8] the author discusses about the tendency to
demonstrate IoT integration with statistic networks, digital
engineering and IoT image embedded with sensor to collect
and transmit trash volume through internet.
In [9] the paper focuses on the issue of heterogeneous waste
management and provides a novel approach which aims for
the provision of high performance cloud based memory
service.
In [10] the author proposes the importance of information
and communication technology (ICT) to be an unavoidable
design for solid waste management systems. The ICT is
divided into four categories as spatial technologies,
identification technologies, data communication
technologies.
In [11] the author tells about vehicle routing difficulties
from a technical view for wide range of time. This gives a
survey of real life applications of road transport routing.
Some ideas on future scopes and real time implementation
are imposed.
In [12] the paper proposes the problem posed on the
municipal budget which results in high cost and reduction in
the understanding of various factors that disturbs the
different levels of waste management.
In [13] the author tells about the usage of RFID technology
and its implementation and also about the load cell sensor
concepts for weight measurement.
In [14] the author discusses about the emergence of smart
city for the increasing population and rapid urbanisation. To
gel the gap in theories about smart cities the paper
introduces a framework to implement the concept of smart
cities.
