Trashbot::Automated Solid Waste Collector

1) Improper disposal of trash in Cainta, Rizal has resulted in environmental issues like pollution and disease. The city has failed to fully enforce waste segregation and establish recycling facilities. 2) A proposed robotic trash collector could help address these problems by automatically collecting small pieces of improperly disposed waste that could cause flooding if left unattended. 3) The trashbot is expected to efficiently remove trash from areas and reduce the chances of flooding and environmental issues, helping to keep the city clean.

RESEARCH
PROBLEM
A major environmental issue that we are dealing now in the present time is trash. Improper
disposal of trash can result in different type of problems like Land and Water Pollution, and it
can spread Infectious diseases.
The Commission on Audit (COA) flagged Cainta, Rizal over deficiencies in its environmental
compliance, including its failure to segregate solid waste and establish recycling facilities in
every barangay. Cainta Ordinance No. 2016-013 according to the law, all trash and garbage
must be separated into biodegradable and non-biodegradable categories. However, state
auditors discovered that due to a lack of stringent enforcement of the ordinance's terms,
segregation was not fully implemented, with all types of garbage being collected at the same
time. COA also found that fully functional Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF) were not
established in all barangays of the municipality.
Legal Basis
The anti-littering law is MMDA Regulation No.96-009 entitled,
“Prohibiting Littering/Dumping/Throwing of Garbage
Rubbish or any kind of waste in open or public places, and
requiring all Owner’s, Lessees, Occupants of Residential,
Commercial establishments, Whether Private or Public to
clean and maintain the cleanliness of their frontage and
immediate surroundings and providing penalties for violators.

STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM

1. How does improper disposal of waste affect


environment and residents of Cainta, Rizal?


2. What is the significance of appropriate trash
disposal?
3. What is the expected efficiency of the suggested
robotic invention?
Theory or concept to solve
this research question
Sometimes even small trash can clog the drainage that will cause flooding in the area. When the
canal is clog by garbage the chances of flooding when it rains is increased

Whether you're just cleaning out your house or organizing a large restoration, effective waste disposal
is essential for the environment and public health. Proper garbage disposal guarantees that nothing
pollutes the environment by ending up in an uncontrolled manner. It not only keeps our streets clean
of trash, but it also reduces any negative effects that garbage disposal may have.

With our robot that collects trash, most waste that was improperly disposed will be remove and
reduced those chances and gives us a cleaner environment.
We expect that this robot can help those places where trash is always present, where it will collect
small trashes that can cause flooding in the future if not taken care of right now.
THEORY OR
CONCEPT
We have a concept that aims to help clean and reduce the number of wastes, infectious
diseases, and the chances of flooding in our country. The collected trash will be put
into the trashcan behind it. With this robot we want the environment to be clean and
disease free just like in the park where Adults and Kids play. The autonomous trash
collection segregation will be the reference for this
