Waste management is a major issue with the emerging growth in the world population, and we need to find efficient ways to recycle and reuse waste. Segregating waste has become a primary need in waste management as different types of waste like Bio & Non-Bio-degradable waste should be processed differently. Effective waste isolation at the fundamental level is especially required for this. Several Smart cities oriented smart garbage management systems are also proposed using Internet of Things (IoT) and GSM. The existing smart bins using IoT and wireless sensor network (WSN) are dependent significantly on two major things. First, multiple types of sensors, as a single sensor may not be able to detect different material waste, and second, the console (Microcontroller, Arduino Raspberry Pi) and connectivity which in turn dependent on programming and operating system. These limitations of the embedded smart bin are overcome by combining IoT with artificial intelligence approaches such as deep neural network (DNN) systems. In this paper, we have presented a Friendly Waste Segregator Using Deep Learning and the IoT to classify and isolate the waste objects as biodegradable and nonbiodegradable. Our proposed method utilizes, a robust deep learning network to classify the waste accurately and IoT for monitoring and connectivity using various sensors. Our proposed method with initial training can identify and segregte real-time waste objects without human intervention with an average accuracy of 97.49 %. Our smart bin intends to provide optimized waste management of bio and non-bio-waste and help to build an ecologically safe society.

INTRODUCTIONIn the growing world and fast urbanization generation of waste is inevitable and it increases exponentially. Isolation and reusing waste materials are essential for a viable society. Waste management has become a serious problem as different sorts of waste like bio-and non-biodegradable waste should be processed differently as the large portion of the waste items has considerably reusable or recyclable substance. Well-managed biodegradable waste is fully compostable which can be used as a recyclable manure fertilizer to improve the growth of crops and plants, generate power, etc. 1Even non-biodegradable waste after processing is also recyclable and can be reused. Such sort of waste packs the landfills and contaminates the earth, is a menace to the environment, and is of great concern. Plastic is likewise a non-biodegradable material that sets aside an extremely long
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
