Smart Waste Management System

Abstract

Smart Waste Management Website is an innovative, web-based platform that encourages smartcollection and smart separation. This project aimstosolveoneofthebiggestenvironmentalissues we havenow a days i.e. Dispose of Waste with the help of innovative tech to improve the user experience & work efficiency. The platform allows users to interact and engage with it using a responsive front-end by implementing modern web development technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The website uses Python to process image recognization to verify the waste uploaded is in fact waste_Selected, through its image recognization,nonwasteimagescannotbeprocessed.Thisisdone using predefined rules that are coded in Python and libraries that support it such as OpenCV and TensorFlow/Keras.Usersmayregisterorloginfora dashboard that enables uploading images of waste, retrieving a history of uploaded waste, submitting feedback, and obtaining a list of waste types that may be accepted.

Introduction

Introduction:
Waste management is a growing global issue, with the World Bank predicting a 70% rise in waste by 2050. Over 40% of garbage is not sorted or recycled properly, leading to environmental, health, and economic problems. The current systems suffer from low user participation and manual inefficiencies, creating a need for an effective, automated, and user-friendly waste management solution.

Literature Survey:

• Smart Systems: Studies (e.g., Kumar et al., Sharma & Gupta) have explored IoT-enabled bins and AI-based waste classification.

• Image Processing: Machine learning helps accurately identify types of waste (Singh et al., 2021).

• User Feedback Platforms: Interactive apps boost public engagement (Gupta & Verma, Patel et al.).

• Database Optimization: Efficient data handling is key for performance (Reddy et al., 2021).

These works support the idea that tech-driven and user-centric systems outperform traditional waste management methods, despite challenges like cost and data privacy.

Project Features:

The Smart Waste Management Website integrates both frontend (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and backend (Python, databases) to deliver:

1. User Authentication – Secure login and registration.

2. Waste Image Verification – Automated waste detection using Python.

3. Upload Tracking – Users can view their waste upload history.

4. Feedback Collection – Enables service improvement.

5. Waste Type Information – Educates users on accepted waste.

6. Session Management – Ensures secure login/logout.

Workflow & Algorithm:

• Users log in, then access a dashboard with options: upload waste, view uploads, give feedback, see accepted waste, and logout.

• Uploaded images are verified automatically and stored in the database.

• Users can view their history and contribute feedback for improvement.

Results:

• Secure Access: Login system ensures data privacy and user engagement.

• Automation: Python-based image verification reduces errors and improves classification accuracy.

• User Monitoring: Users can track their waste contributions, promoting responsible behavior.

Conclusion

The Smart Waste Management Website offers a functional and innovative platform that leverages automation, user interaction, and real-time data to address modern waste challenges efficiently.
