Abstract

The Trash Trio an automatic waste dispenser Project is an automated waste segregation system designed to address improper waste disposal in urban and industrial areas. With increasing waste generation, effective source-level segregation is vital to reduce landfill usage, control pollution, and enhance recycling efficiency. The system separates waste into Dry Waste, Wet Waste, and Electronic Waste (E- Waste) using sensors, microcontrollers, and mechanical units that detect properties such as moisture, conductivity, and material composition. Once deposited, waste is automatically sorted into the correct compartment, reducing human error and improving accuracy. To improve usability, the Trash Trio an automatic waste dispenser is integrated with a mobile application that enables real-time bin monitoring, collection alerts, and access to recycling guidelines. The app also includes an e-commerce feature for purchasing the system. By combining automation, smart sensing, and digital connectivity, the Trash Trio an automatic waste dispenser offers a practical and scalable solution for sustainable waste management.
