Rapid urbanization has led to a significant increase in municipal solid waste, posing serious challenges for Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). Effective waste segregation at source is essential to improve recycling efficiency and reduce environmental impact. However, monitoring segregation practices using conventional methods is inefficient and difficult to scale. This paper presents a Waste Segregation Monitoring System designed to support ULBs through automated and real-time monitoring. The proposed system utilizes smart sensing units and communication modules to identify segregation compliance during waste collection. Collected data is transmitted to a centralized monitoring platform for analysis and reporting. The system enables authorities to identify non-compliant areas and take timely corrective measures. By promoting accountability and data-driven decision making, the proposed solution enhances operational efficiency. The system contributes to reduced landfill dependency and improved resource recovery. Overall, it supports sustainable and smart urban waste management.
