The study presents the design and development of an E-waste Collector Machine featuring
a coin reward system to incentivize users to dispose of motorcycles, laptops, and household
batteries responsibly. Users initiate the process by pressing a push button, followed by
selecting the appropriate tray for their e-waste type. Each tray measures voltage, resistance,
and weight to classify the e-waste, which then triggers a mechanism directing it to
designated storage. An LCD displays measurements for user confirmation, after which
users collect coin rewards based on the type and quantity of e-waste deposited. The system
monitors storage capacity and notifies facilitators when full. E-waste is responsibly
handled by facilitators, emphasizing environmental sustainability. The study excludes
software applications and thermal cameras for damage detection, focusing solely on
collection rather than recycling. Accepted battery types include dry cell motorcycle
batteries, 8-pin laptop batteries, and rechargeable household batteries. Test results indicate
that a significant portion of collected batteries were still in good condition, highlighting the
importance of proper disposal to prevent environmental harm and promote reuse/recycling
efforts. User feedback rated the overall experience, functionality, aesthetics, workability,
economy, and safety with a mean of 4.37 gives a descriptive rating of "Very Acceptable"
to "Highly Acceptable," affirming the effectiveness, usability, and safety of the system.
