Abstract: Abstract A gamified blockchain-integrated smart waste management system with IoT sensors and AI-based carbon tracking is disclosed to revolutionize automated waste recycling. The system features an autonomous sorting receptacle controlled by an edge microcontroller interfacing with an advanced non-optical sensor array, including inductive proximity, infrared, and capacitive moisture sensors, to categorize waste into wet, dry, metal, mixed, and hazardous streams without optical interference. A stepper-driven rotating segregation disk mechanically separates the categorized waste into targeted compartments within two seconds, while ultrasonic sensors monitor volumetric capacity to prevent overloads. An artificial intelligence module utilizes IPCC emission factors to calculate real-time carbon dioxide equivalent () offsets, displaying environmental metrics on a web dashboard utilizing three-dimensional rendering and interactive satellite mapping. Civic compliance is incentivized via an edge gamification engine linked to a blockchain testnet, automatically minting secure cryptographic utility tokens to verified user wallets upon reaching disposal milestones.
