Abstract

Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is spread around 713 Sq. Km area with total population of 1.3 Crore, generates around 4,500 Metric tonnes per day of domestic solid waste at an average of 309 grams in city and from slum is 300 grams per day. In metropolitan areas, a huge quantity of household solid waste is generated, which contains a variety of materials such as organic wastes, paper, plastic, metal, glass, and so on. To promote this process, the government developed the concept of waste segregation encouraging people to dispose trash separately for efficient waste management. Because of no proper segregation at source, currently 15% of garbage is treated and remaining is being dumped into landfills. Considering above problem, the proposed system will have track on whether collected domestic waste is segregated or not. To have track on waste segregation we have designed QR code tags and smartphone application. QR tags contain information of electric meter number, using smartphone application waste collector can scan the QR tags to fetch the electric meter number, in the designed application dashboard it contains fields like kind of waste, segregation status and so on. According to the segregation status waste collector should upload photo of the waste to have proper tracking. If waste is not segregated processing become tedious and waste will be dumped into landfills. Pollution of air, water and soil can be considerably reduced when waste is separated and treated.Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is spread around 713 Sq.
