Abstract:
Garbage has always been a problem in
Indonesia. One root is the lack interest in throwing them in
their proper place. Additionally, the waste that has been
disposed is not managed properly. In response to it, the
authors designed a trash bin as a Reverse Vending Machine
(RVM) with the ability to detect bottles and cans and provide
rewards for the person. The machine was able to detect bottles
by using the TCRT5000 sensor and cans by using an inductive
proximity sensor. Both trashes were also sorted to a specific
trash bin directly, and the reward was calculated directly
based on the total of bottles and cans put into it. A push button
can be pressed to print out the ticket, but it would decline the
request when there is no bottles or cans input. In addition,
ultrasonic sensors were installed to automatically check the
trash bins of the RVM, and LEDs were used to notify the user
whether the trash bin of the bottles or cans were already full
or not. After 24 attempts of testing, the successful rate was
found to be 100%.
