The amount of waste is continuously rising and is expected to further increase in the
succeeding years. Moreover, people are becoming more irresponsible about throwing their
own trash. Proper waste management is very important in society because it helps the
environment. There are related studies, technologies, and solutions that the researchers
need to address waste management which they are using robotic arms with image
processing, web applications, SMS notifications and has a metal detection system.
However, they are found to be expensive, can only segregate waste one at a time, no
monitoring features, among others. The smart waste segregation was designed, developed,
tested, and evaluated to resolve improper waste disposal. In this project study, the
researchers simulated an adaptive machine learning algorithm using convolutional neural
network. To further enhance waste segregation management, the system integrated an AI
camera to effectively segregate the type of waste and a GSM module to send an SMS
notification. The testing result in the hypothesis proves that there is a significant correlation
of the two sensors’ accuracy and timeliness: metal sensor (r = .966, p=<.001) and image
sensor (r = .943, p=<.001); and a sample size of n=10 using the Correlation Analysis. This
means that there is a strong correlation between the accuracy and timeliness of metal sensor
and AI camera. As such, while the accuracy level of the system is increasing, its timeliness
in recognizing, metal and image sensor is also increasing. The system was evaluated using
ISO 25010: 2011- System and software quality of 4.68 which is interpreted as excellent,
and responses from the students, professors, and maintenance personnel in the university.
By incorporating smart technologies, image processing, and waste management systems,
the study aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) 3
and 12, which focus on ensuring healthy lives and responsible consumption and production
and target and focus on all waste through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse.
