Project Overview:

The Smart Waste Segregation Portal is a web-based platform that allows users to submit information about their waste, and the system classifies it into predefined categories such as biodegradable, non-biodegradable, recyclable, hazardous, etc. The platform aims to promote responsible waste management and assist local authorities in tracking and managing different types of waste reported by citizens.

This solution creates a bridge between the community and waste management authorities, ensuring a cleaner, more sustainable environment.

Main Functional Modules:

 1. User Module

• User Registration and Login:

  • Users can create an account using their name, email, and password.

  • Once registered, users can log in to access the system features.

• Waste Submission Form:

  • Users fill out a simple form to describe the type of waste.

  • Option to either choose a waste category from a list or let the system categorize it automatically based on description or keywords.

• Submission History:

  • Logged-in users can view a history of all their waste submissions with details like date, category, and status.

• Educational Tips (Optional Add-on):

  • Articles or guides on proper waste disposal and how to identify different types of waste.

 2. Waste Categorization Logic

• The system categorizes the waste using a rule-based engine:

  • If users select a category manually, it’s stored as-is.

  • If no category is selected, the system uses simple logic (e.g., keyword matching in the waste description) to determine the correct category.

• Categories include:

  • Biodegradable Waste

  • Non-Biodegradable Waste

  • Recyclable Waste

  • Electronic Waste

  • Hazardous Waste

  • Medical Waste

 3. Admin Module

• Admin Login:

  • Only authorized personnel can access the admin panel.

• Monitor Waste Submissions:

  • View all submissions across the system.

  • Access user details, waste category, location, and submission date.

• Manage Waste Categories:

  • Admins can add, edit, or delete waste categories.

  • Can define keyword associations for each category (for better auto-categorization).

• Analytics and Reporting (Optional Advanced Feature):

  • Visual reports like pie charts or bar graphs to display trends in waste submissions.

  • Export reports for specific date ranges or categories.
