Based on the classification, a servo-driven mechanical diverter directs the waste into designated compartments. Load cells and ultrasonic sensors continuously monitor weight and fill levels to ensure accurate tracking and verification. Collected data is transmitted to a cloud-based platform through a connectivity module, enabling real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and optimized waste collection routes. Automated alerts notify authorities when collection thresholds are reached, enabling proactive and sustainable waste management suitable for smart city environments."
