Abstract: India is considered to be the second – largest in terms of population and one of the countries in mass production of waste. Even though many steps were taken to manage waste but none provide a solution to manual scavenging and segregation. Moreover, ditch line cleaning is a major part of sanitation work. Manual scavenging is a potential health threat to sanitation workers 69% of street sweepers & scavengers suffers from multiple health problems. Manual scavenging is not only harmful it is physically exhaustive too. Manual scavenging is harmful and disrespectful practice but it is required to keep our city clean. Another major threat is global warming and climate change. The most suitable way to recover our mother earth is to increase in growth of trees and plants at a massive rate. Management of saplings in cites is one of the major drawbacks and cost is arithmetically higher in rate. Thus we intend to provide a more appropriate solution to manual scavenging, ditch sludge clearance and sapling management in roadsides with hybrid bins. An automated vehicle is used to collect and segregate the solid waste in the roadside with the help of mechanical structures, actuators, and a vacuum pump. A movable filter is used in ditch lines to collect sludge, slurries, plastic waste and other floating matters. A hybrid bin is constructed in such a way where it allows spacing to plant a sapling and an electronic stick is embedded in it to manage the growth of the saplings in all aspects. Thus through our innovation, we provide scavenging at a faster rate, increase the dignity of workers, reduce they're prone to health hazard, reconstruct the climate change and make a better place to live in.

Keywords: Scavenging, Waste Collection, Urban Forest.
