THE PROBLEM
Introduction
Waste disposal is a huge cause for concern in the present world. The disposal method
of a large amount of generated waste has had an adverse effect on the environment.
Unplanned open and landfill sites made by municipal is a common method of disposal of
waste. Human health, plant, and animal life are affected due to this method. The harmful
method used for waste disposal generates harmful chemicals which contaminate surface and
groundwater. It can give rise to disease vectors which spread harmful diseases. This also
degrades the aesthetic value of the natural environment and it is an unavailing use of land
resources.
In Pagadian City, garbage collectors play an important role in the recycling of urban
solid waste. Garbage collectors and conservancy staff have higher morbidity due to infections
of the skin, respiratory, gastrointestinal tract and multisystem allergic disorders, in addition to
a high circulation of bites of mammals, dogs, and other vermin. Dependency on the garbage
collectors can be diminished if segregation takes place at the source of municipal waste
generation. The economic value of the waste generated is not realized unless it is recycled
completely. Several advancement in technology have also allowed the garbage to be
processed into useful entities such as waste to energy, where waste can be used to generate
synthetic gas (syngas) made up of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
It has been viewed that one of the most raised problem in the society is environmental
problems concerning improper waste management that leads to pollution. Some of the
reasons why this happens are lack of discipline from citizens, lack of budget and monitoring
from the local government, and lack of knowledge in regards to the result of this
undisciplined act. When the waste is segregated into basic streams such as wet, dry, and
metallic waste has a higher potential of recovery and consequently recycled and reused.
Through this study, it is encouraged to use Automatic Garbage Segregator in doing proper
waste management. With the use of this device, neglected duties as a citizen to clean the
environment and is not acceptable anymore because Automatic Garbage Segregator can be
operated without human intervention. This system is an income generated system in which in
each garbage they will obtain 1 point, and in 100 points is equivalent to 1 peso. Furthermore,
with the help of Automatic Garbage Segregator, the problem with waste and pollution will be
lessen.
This research study contribute valuable insights into the role of garbage segregator
technology as a catalyst for advancing sustainable waste management practices. Through
empirical analysis and stakeholder engagement, this study aims to inform policy makers,
urban planners, waste management professionals, and community stakeholders about the
potential benefits and challenges associated with the adaption and implementation of garbage
segregator technology. Ultimately, the findings of this research aspire to facilitate evidence-
based decision-making and foster transformative changes towards a more sustainable and
resilient waste management paradigm.
Objectives of the Study
General objective
This research various specific goals such as evaluating the efficiency of garbage
segregators in sorting different types of waste, quantifying the increase in recycling rates
facilitated by segregators, analyzing the environmental benefits derived from proper waste
segregation, examining the economic viability of implementing garbage segregators, studying
social acceptance and behavioral changes associated with segregator design and functionality,
enhancing public health and safety through improved waste management practices, ensuring
long-term sustainability of segregator initiatives, and facilitating knowledge sharing and
capacity building among stakeholders.
Specific objective
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of
integrating garbage segregators into existing waste management systems. Garbage
segregators are innovative devices designed to automatically sort and categorize different
types of waste materials, such as plastics, paper, glass and organic waste, thereby facilitating
the recycling and disposal process.
The objectives of this project are as follows:
1. To design and construct a low-cost Automatic garbage Segregator.
2. To fabricate a less complex Automatic Garbage segregator.
3. Use of Ultrasonic sensors to detect the level of bins.
4. Promoting technological innovation.
5. Income generated system.
Scope and Limitations
This system “automatic garbage segregator” are capable of maintaining the
environment clean, segregating the garbage, giving points in every garbage. This system
encourages the society to segregate garbages properly to obtain more points (100 points is
equivalent of 1 pesos).
The proposed system will be used in the society or community, and it all
establishments.
This system is bounded to the following:
1. Cannot segregate garbage itself if the garbage is mixed up.
2. Possible error/mistake in terms of segregation.
3. Limited garbage capacity.
Significance of the study
This research study benefited the following individuals or groups in Pagadian City as
the direct beneficiaries of the results of this system.
Society or community- It helps to make the society or community clean, and with the use of
this system they can earn revenue through gaining points in every garbage they throw.
Establishment- This will help their surroundings clean.
Researchers- This research study would help the researchers to gain more knowledge and
better understanding, the researcher can also help the society or community by making this
system.
Future researchers- This will help the future researchers to make this research study as their
basis for future purposes.
