| Summary: | Nowadays, solid waste has become a major problem in Malaysia. However,
most people in Malaysia are not aware and take this problem for granted. The
rising number of population and massive development in recent years
indirectly generated an enormous value of household waste, making the
household waste the main generator for solid waste in Malaysia. It stated that
only 5 percent of an average 30,000 tons of waste have been recycled in
Malaysia. The purpose of the paper is to design a system to separate the
metal recyclable household waste automatically and record the data waste
collected. There are total of four detectors used to separate the non-metal,
steel, copper and aluminum metal waste. The average time used to complete
metal separation process by using the proposed prototype is 14.5 seconds.
This paper includes a mechanical part, programming part, an electronic
design and also the data collected from this proposed system. The system
will be programmed using Arduino Mega as a microcontroller to control all
the electronic component in the system. |
