With the increasing population, there is a growing need for low-cost waste management solutions. By leveraging the benefits of modern technological tools, smarter solutions for this basic problem can be provided. In this paper, a Smart Waste segregation and garbage level monitoring System is proposed, which can be remotely monitored and which is built at a very low cost. The design of the proposed system considers portability and ease of assembly as essential factors during implementation. The paper provides required details to build such a system and thus promotes a Do-It-Yourself spirit. The discussed results show the implemented system and its interaction with the user using mobile as well as a web application.
