THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
A. Introduction
Water is a basic necessity of human and all living beings. 70% of the world is
covered by water and only 2.5% of it is fresh and suitable for human use.. The
impurities present in water can cause hazardous diseases. The biggest impact of
cleaning chemical waste can cause respiratory diseases.
About 8 million tons of plastic waste are dumped into the world’s oceans
every year, the equivalent of one garbage truck of plastic being tripped into the sea
every minute of every day, according to a 2015 report by the environmental
campaigner ocean conservancy. Five Asian countries – China, Indonesia,
Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam account for up to 60 percent of the plastic waste
leaking into ocean, the study said.
Majority of the plastics are found on creeks and canals all throughout the city.
Plastic waste disposal is a major challenge due to non-biodegradable nature of
plastics and such wastes are visibly present in landfill sites and waterways for a long
time. It is a fact that rapid urbanization of cities in the country has provided ample
opportunities for growth. Although there had been efforts to address this challenge
through the 2000
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, which was considered legislation on
environmental management.

Region 02
The law mandated the establishment of MSW collection systems anchored on
the so called 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) that involves segregation at source
and the establishment of intermediate facilities such as materials recovery facilities,
which ideally should be established at the barangay level.
With the continued expansion of industries, the problem of sewage water must be
urgently resolved due to the increasing sewage problems from industries to the
surrounding environment.
To overcome this problem this design of trash collecting device is proposed.
This device is called “Improvised Solar-Powered Remote Controlled Trash Collecting
Device” wherein it can be placed on a certain body of water to remove or collect
floating trash. This device enables the worker to remove waste by operating the
device with a simple remote control. The device operator doesn’t need much effort
and it looks very simple and economical.

E. Scope and Limitations
The research project covers the process on how the Improvised Solar-
Powered Remote Controlled Trash Collecting Device can be useful. It also covers
the aspect of how people can save time in using the said device. Though, there are
limitations like, the device can only be used in stable bodies of water, the device can
only collect floating trash on bodies of water, and the lifespan of the device is limited.

Region 02
F. Significance of the study
Having an Improvised Solar-Powered Remote Controlled Trash Collecting
Device can potentially save so much time and effort in cleaning stable bodies of
water such as pools and creeks. A good idea for private pool or resort owners and
for those who live near creeks and canals. This study addresses its significance to
the following:
To the pool owners or resort owners: This device can help pool owners to save
time in cleaning their pools and also for their regular maintenance.
To homeowners living near bodies of water: Another significance of this device is
that it can help reduce water pollution and contamination that can affect the health of
people living near these bodies of water.
To environmentalists: Another significance of this study is that it can help and
make it easy for the environmentalists to do their works in cleaning creeks with lots
of floating waste. They can use the said device instead of cleaning manually.
To future researchers: This research will help the future researchers to have a
wider idea in conducting related researches.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
A. Domestic waste disposal practice and perceptions of private sector waste
management in urban Accra
Waste poses a threat to public health and the environment if it is not stored,
collected, and disposed of properly. The perception of waste as an unwanted
material with no intrinsic value has dominated attitudes towards disposal. This study
investigates the domestic waste practices, waste disposal, and perceptions about
waste and health in an urban community. The study utilized a mixed-method
approach. A cross-sectional survey questionnaire and in-depth interview were used
to collect data. A total of 364 household heads were interviewed in the survey and
six key informants were interviewed with the in-depth interviews. The results of the
study revealed that 93.1% of households disposed of food debris as waste and
77.8% disposed of plastic materials as waste. The study also showed that 61.0% of
the households disposed of their waste at community bins or had waste picked up at
their homes by private contractors. The remaining 39.0% disposed of their waste in
gutters, streets, holes and nearby bushes. Of those who paid for the services of
private contractors, 62.9% were not satisfied with the services because of their cost
and irregular collection. About 83% of the respondents were aware that improper
waste management contributes to disease causation; most of the respondents
thought that improper waste management could lead to malaria and diarrhea.
Page 8
Region 02
There was a general perception that children should be responsible for
transporting waste from the households to dumping sites. Proper education of the
public, the provision of more communal trash bins, and the collection of waste by
private contractors could help prevent exposing the public in municipalities to
diseases.
B. The pollution of marine environment by plastic debris
The deleterious effects of plastic debris on the marine environment were reviewed
by bringing together most of the literature published so far on the topic. A large
number of marine species is known to be harmed and/or killed by plastic debris.
Which could jeopardize their survival, especially since many are already endangered
by other forms of anthropogenic activities. Marine animals are mostly affected
through entanglement sin and ingestion of plastic litter. Other less known threats
include the use of plastic debris by “invader” species and the absorption of
polychlorinated biphenyls from ingested plastic. Less conspicuous forms, such as
plastic pellets and “scrubbers” are also hazardous. To address the problem of plastic
debris in the oceans is a difficult task, and a variety of approaches are urgently
required. Some of the ways to mitigate the problem are discussed.
It is not possible to obtain reliable estimates of the amount of plastic debris that
reaches the marine environment, but the quantities are nevertheless quite
substantial. In 1975 the world’s fishing fleet alone dumped into the sea
approximately 135,400 tons of US Coast Guard they dispose approximately 52% of
all rubbish dumped in US water (UNESCO, 1994).

C. Measuring the Effectiveness of the Ocean Dumping Management Program
Certain materials, such as high-level radioactive waste, medical waste, sewage
sludge, and industrial waste, are banned from ocean disposal. The primary source of
material that may be dumped sin the ocean, with appropriate oversight and
permitting, is navigational dredging undertaken to remove sediment from navigation
channels and vessel berthing areas. Other items that may be disposed in the ocean
include vessels that are no longer in operation, fish wastes, and human remains.
EPA is responsible for designating ocean disposal sites (both for dredged and
no dredged material), establishing and managing Site Management and Monitoring
Plans for all ocean disposal sites, and establishing environmental criteria for the
evaluation of permit applications. Though the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) issues ocean dumping permits for dredged material (subject to EPA review
and concurrence), EPA is responsible for issuing ocean dumping permits (special,
general, research, or emergency) for all other substances.
Enacted in 1972, the Marine Pollution, Research, and Sanctuaries Act
(MPRSA) regulates transportation for the purpose of dumping of all types of
materials into ocean waters and prevents or strictly limits the dumping into ocean
waters of any material that would adversely affect human health, welfare, or
amenities; or the marine environment, ecological systems, or economic
potentialities.2 The MPRSA implements the requirements of the London Convention,
an international treaty governing ocean dumping.

D. Water Contamination and Pollution
Water pollution is the presence of chemical, physical, or biological components
or factors producing a condition of impairment of a given water body with respect to
some beneficial use. The level of contamination necessary to render a water body
impaired is highly dependent on the type of water body, its location, and the types of
beneficial uses it supports. A water deemed unfit for drinking by humans may be
suitable for the other uses, such as habitat, irrigation, or recreation. Although certain
natural events can cause water pollution, we will focus herein on the anthropogenic
sources of pollution, that is, pollution arising from human activities.
E. Automatic Trash Removal System in Water Bodies
Dozens of millions of tons of plastics and other debris end up floating in water
bodies around the world. Automatic canal cleaning system makes use of solar power
to remove floating trashes. The device is placed across the water bodies so that flow
occurs through lower grids. Waste like plastic bottles, cans, bio-debris, etc. are lifted
up by using conveyer fitted with projecting kit. These belts are driven by solar
powered motors. Photovoltaic cells used are coupled with storage batteries for full
day working. Secondary conveyer is provided to remove the trashes to the dumping
regions. This system will be also helpful for Pampa and “Namami, Ganga” projects
for cleaning rivers from trashes like dhoties, flower offerings and other waste.

F. Aqua Drone Remote Controlled Unmanned River Cleaning Boat
Water is a basic need for all living being, it is important to maintain the
cleanliness and hygiene of water. Water gets polluted due to many reasons such as
waste found from industry, garbage waste, sewage waste, etc. water from lakes and
ponds are clean by traditional methods. We have to incorporate technology such that
cleaning work is done efficiently and effectively. Consider this as serious problem to
start the work of project. We collected information from the various resource, based
on the details collected we listed objectives that a design has to carry. Various
concepts were generated to Pugh evaluation chart. Design calculation was being
done where theoretical values of required parameters were calculated to match them
with actual values achieved by the solution.
G. Garbage monitoring system using IoT
Nowadays certain actions are taken to improve the level of cleanliness in the
country. People are more getting more active in doing all the things possible to clean
their surroundings. Various movements are also started by the government to
increase cleanliness. A system is build which will notify the corporation to empty the
bin on time. In this system, we will put a sensor on top of the garbage bin which will
detect the total level of garbage inside it according to the total size of the bin. This
system will help in cleaning the city in the better way. By using this system people do
not have to check all the system manually but they will get a notification when the bin
will get filled.
Page 12
Region 02
H. Detection and removal of Floating Wastes on Bodies of Water
With the increase in population, the scenario of cleanliness with respect to
waste management in degrading tremendously. The overflow the garbage on river
side creates unhygienic condition in nearby surroundings. This floating wastes will
not be dissolve easily in water. This unwanted suspended objects will cut off the
oxygen, hence creates oxygen deficiency which directly affects the marine life. Also
this wastes are a threat to aquatic animals. The project aims at detecting floating
wastes in water using infrared sensor and cleaning in an efficient way. The
information of every action taking will be sent to the corresponding authority through
GSM. The project can be implemented for both flowing and stagnant water. The
major advantage of the project is that the people of control station need not have to
go to every nook and corner to clean waste, instead can monitor one end easily.
I. An Approach for Monitoring and Smart Planning of Urban Solid Waste
Management Using Smart-M3 Platform
Solid waste management is one of the most important challenges in urban
areas throughout the world and it is becoming a critical issue in developing countries
where a rapid increase in population has been observed. Waste collection is a
complex process that requires the use of large amount of money and an elaborate
management of logistics. In this paper an approach to smart waste collection is
proposed able to improve and optimize the handling of solid urban waste. Context of
smart waste management requires interconnection among heterogeneous devices
and data sharing involving a large amount of people. Smart-M3 platform solves
Page 13
Region 02
these problems offering a high degree of decoupling and scalability. Waste collection
is made by real-time monitoring the level of bin’s fullness through sensors placed
inside the containers. This method enables to exempt from collecting semi-empty
bins. Furthermore, incoming data can be provided to decisional algorithms in order to
determine the optimal number of waste vehicles or bins to distribute in the territory.
The presented solution gives important advantages for both service providers and
consumers. The formers could obtain a sensible cost reduction. On the other hand,
users may benefit from a higher level of service quality. In order to make users feel
closer to their community, they can interact with the system to be aware about the
fullness state of the nearest bins. Finally, a mechanism for collecting “green points”
was introduced for encouraging citizens to recycle.

Region 02
E. Research Data Gathering and Procedure
 Pre experimental Phase
The problem encountered by the researchers was the rapid increase of plastic
waste in bodies of water. Due to this problem, the researchers came up with an
idea to construct a device that can collect trash in bodies of water within
exerting much effort from an individual. The researchers thought of an idea in
controlling the device using a remote. The researchers consulted an Engineer
before conducting the study. The researchers considered all the
recommendations given by the Engineer before constructing the device.
 Experimental Phase
Prepare a Styrofoam box with a measurement of 38”x16”and a thickness of 4

inches. Get a two PVC pipe that measures 10 inches. Attach the two 9V
dynamo to the both ends of the first PVC pipe. Connect each pipe to the
aluminium wire and seal the ends with vulcaseal. Connect the two dynamos
with the copper wire then connect it to the 9V rechargeable battery and install a
switch for turning on and off of the conveyer belt. After that place the net to the
pipe to come up with a conveyer belt. Then prepare a ruler and cut it into 12
pieces with a measurement of 5 inches each and that will serve as an
improvised propeller. Attach the improvised propellers to the wheel of the RC
motor using a glue stick and a glue gun. Trace the size of the RC motor with the
propellers on the styro foam box, use a pen to trace it. Cut the excess styro
foam from the traced image. After that, install the RC motor with the propellers
on the styro box then cover the styro foam box that serves as a floater of the
device. The propellers are covered using the storage box by cutting it to prevent
the connections of the device from getting wet when the device starts moving.
Cut the remaining styro foam and make a box that will serve as the storage of
the collected trash. Lastly, place the solar panel on top of the storage box and
secure it using a gluegun.

 Post Experimental Phase
After constructing the device, the researchers started gathering data in a 19m by
50m wide pool. The researchers placed 100 pieces of trash in the pool and start
collecting it using Manual Cleaning Net, the researchers recorded the time it took
for the manual cleaning net to collect all the trash with the 15 year old, 25 year
old, 35 year old, 45 year old and 60 year old individuals. After that, the
researchers used the Improvised Solar-Powered Trash Collecting Device to
collect another 100 pieces of trash and the same process went on.
F. Research Statistical Treatment of Data

To get the time one-hundred trash is collected using the device and using manual
cleaning net, Mean and Standard Deviation was used.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

cleaning chemical waste can cause respiratory diseases.

every minute of every day, according to a 2015 report by the environmental

campaigner ocean conservancy. Five Asian countries – China, Indonesia,

leaking into ocean, the study said.

Plastic waste disposal is a major challenge due to non-biodegradable nature of

through the 2000

Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, which was considered legislation on

The law mandated the establishment of MSW collection systems anchored on

and the establishment of intermediate facilities such as materials recovery facilities,

which ideally should be established at the barangay level.

To overcome this problem this design of trash collecting device is proposed.

This device is called “Improvised Solar-Powered Remote Controlled Trash Collecting

Device” wherein it can be placed on a certain body of water to remove or collect

and it looks very simple and economical.

Water contamination – contamination of water bodies, usually as a result of human

activities and disposal of plastic waste.

Remote-control – a machine or apparatus from a distance by means of signals

transmitted from a radio or electronic device.

Waste management – is the management of water resources under set policies or

Sewage – is a type of wastewater that is produced from a community of people. It is

characterized by volume or rate of flow, physical condition, chemical and toxic

constituents, and its bacteriologic status.
