Answer:

Waste sorting is the process by which waste is separated into different elements. Waste sorting can occur manually at the household and collected through curbside collection schemes, or automatically separated in materials recovery facilities or mechanical biological treatment systems.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proposed system uses sensors for identification of personnel and measuring garbage level. Continuous data regarding garbage levels are available for personnel through the display of the garbage bin. ... The garbage bin also sends a message to the corresponding authority to collect waste when the bin is 100% filled up.

Answer:

Typically, one would sort garbage by paper, recyclable material (such as plastic), and all other wastes. However, it is important to note that you as a "consumer" do not need to waste time sorting your garbage. If you do not recycle by yourself, most of your trash and "recyclables" end up in the same places, either a landfill, or used as fuel to power generators. As such, it is almost not worthwhile to recycle.

However, if you were to recycle, trash collecting companies typically already help you dispose of your garbage through color-coded trash bins. For example, in the Atlas trash collecting company, Green typically is used for natural substances, such as leaves and branches, while blue is for recycling, and black is for the catch-all trash.
