This project deals with a totally different street waste collecting mechanism from the existing ones. The current street cleaning machines are automated ones which are controlled by radio frequency. The proposed machine is designed in such a way that it is 100% automatically operated, so that the end users can work without much effort. Another advantage is that the regular maintenance is much simpler and a typical mechanic can undoubtedly repair and maintain the machine. The machine consists of a waste collector brush connected with a roller and a conveyour is also attached in back side of the brush.The wastes are collected on to a storage box with help of a conveyor mechanism. The dry and wet waste are segregated with the help of sensor. When the wet waste is brought near to the sensors, the moisture sensor detects it and hence the microcontroller rotates the drum by 180⁰ and hence the wet waste will fall in the wet waste collecting chamber.
