Abstract: The present invention relates to a Smart Waste Disposal Vending Machine integrated with a web-based monitoring platform for intelligent waste management, automated segregation, resource recovery, and user engagement. The invention comprises a waste reception chamber, an artificial intelligence-based classification subsystem, a segregation mechanism, an organic waste processing unit, a plastic recycling module, a communication interface, and a centralized control system. Deposited waste materials are identified through machine learning algorithms and automatically directed towards designated processing pathways. Organic waste is converted into nutrient-rich compost through controlled thermal processing, while plastic waste is transformed into reusable products including pellets, filament, and fuel. The invention further incorporates a reward management framework that encourages responsible waste disposal by allocating incentives to users. Operational information is transmitted to a cloud-connected web platform for real-time monitoring, analytics, and administrative control. The invention improves recycling efficiency, reduces landfill dependency, enhances environmental sustainability, and supports smart city waste management initiatives.
