Abstract — This project emphasis on design and fabrication of the river waste collector. India is a holy country with diversified
culture and different religious festivals which sometimes causes pollution among which water pollution is major. . Different types of
solution have been used by the government to solve such issues. So this work is done after focusing on the current situation of our
water reservoir.The government of India has taken charge to clean rivers and invest huge capital in many river cleaning projects like
“Namami Gange”, „‟Narmada Bachao‟‟ and many major and medium projects in various cities like Ahmadabad, Varanasi etc. So that
to reduce the water pollution we are trying to make river cleaning machine.“River Waste Collector'' a machine which involves the
removing the waste debris from water surface and safely dispose from the water body.
Keywords- Bearings with Housing, Chain and Sprocket Assembly, Perforated Fins, Mesh Fins, Coarse Fins.
I. INTRODUCTION

The “River Waste Collector” used in that places where there is waste debris in the water body which are to be removed.
This machine consist of different size of Fins in which garbage's are going to collect in between them. This also reduce
the difficulties which we face when collection of debris take place. In this machine one end of fins is fixed and another
side is movable , with the help of servo motors we lift the fins from movable side. All the waste debris are get collected
at tank placed at the end of boat.This will ultimately result in reduction of water pollution and lastly the aquatic animal's
death to these problems will be reduced.The use of this project will be made in rivers, ponds, lakes and other water
bodies for to clean the surface water debris from bodies.

Minister of Environment, B. Kambuaya, and revealed waste production of 33 cities across Indonesia by the Central
Bureau of Statistics records in 2007 reached 132,192 cubic meters per day. Not all of the waste disposed and transported
in landfill, for example a lot of garbage that have not been handled properly such as burned and dumped in the river. This
phenomenon that causes environment problems. Rivers turn into domestic landfill. Kambuaya states 80 percent of river
has been polluted by domestic waste. River ecosystem that gets under pressure of high pollution load than other rivers in
Java is Ciliwung River. This river is located in Jakarta which passes through many villages which have poor sanitary
conditions in general. During the rainy season this river often overflows and causes floods. Jakarta government makes
efforts to overcome trash pollution in the rivers. One of them is to launch issue regulation in Jakarta which prohibits
dumping into rivers

Some alternative of wasting management have been are presented among others through the trash bank or recollect bank
and reprocess them into handmade items that can make profits. In addition, the Indonesian government also makes effort
by the issue of the regulation No. 18 of 2008 on Waste Management along with Government Regulation No. 81 of 2012,
mandates the need for a fundamental paradigm shift in the management paradigm that is gathering garbage – transporting
– processing waste into a convergent on wasting reduction and waste management. Wasting reduction activities means all
levels of society include government, business and society conducting restriction of madden. They recycle and reuse
garbage which is known as Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (3R) through intelligent efforts, efficient, and program.
Government’s efforts have not been running at maximum. There are many garbage's found and clog the stream flows in
the river, dumps into the branch of the river, piles up at the doors of water, in ditches, small streams and pose shelter
illegal waste, which would damage the surrounding environment.

III. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

A. Motivation and objective

The problem of water logging due to plastic, thermocole and metal leads to pest growth and it favors diseases like
malaria, typhoid etc. This is unsafe for human life and hence the idea of this project emerged. The objective of the
proposed project is to design and fabricate an automated machine for drainage cleaning in order to prevent humans from
getting affected by various diseases from the infectious microbes present in the sewage while cleaning manually. This
proposed system is to minimize or overcome the problem faced while using man operated machine and to minimize the
increased dumping rate of waste.

B. Existing method
The existing system is completely a mechanical based project. It is a stationary system, simply kept in the sewage area to
collect the wastes passing over it. The chain and sprocket is used for rims movement, which has fitted fins to collect the
wastes from the sewage. The rotation of the chain along with the rims will push the boat in forward diirection, the
floating wastes are collected between different sizes of fins and put off the wastes in the bin that is placed at the backside
of the system.

IV. CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING PRINCIPLE

A. Construction
The project consist of different types of fins attached at both side. The component which is running the project is Chain
and Sprocket assembly and two rims. On the spokes of Rims we are going to fix curvature cross-section due to which
when rims are rotating on the surface of river it pushes the water in opposite direction and boat moves in forward
direction. In this project Fins are fixed at one side and another side is moving, on moving side copper wire is fixed and
this wires rolls on pulley connected with servo motor. Servo motor connected with 9V battery to pull the fins upward.

solid waste between Fins all the waste are Transferred into Last section by Lifting the fins with the help of Servo Motor.
Fins are Hanging from one point and another point is connected with metal wire and Metal wire is connected with Servo
motor. Servo motor is connected with 9V Battery. This Boat can run by using manually operated Link (Chain and
Sprocket Assembly) or else different types of Engines which are used in boats.

As noted above, the device of the present invention will preferably be used to collect floating or partially sub merged
trash and debris from waterways (e.g., streams, harbors, rivers, lakes, and the like). It is adapted to being moved to
different locations. Accordingly, it is a principal object of the present invention to provide a solid waste collection system
for collecting Solid waste in a body of flowing water. It is another object of the present invention to provide a solid waste
collection system that is simple to operate, requires minimum maintenance.

Briefly described, those and other objects and features of the present invention may be accomplished, as embodied and
fully described herein, by a solid waste collection system for collecting Solid waste in a body of flowing water that has a
flotation platform adapted to being securely positioned in and floating on the flowing water, a Solid waste collection
section mounted on the platform having, on one end. Two rod attached to and extending outward from the upstream end
of the platform used to connect the fins with Boat. This section can be attached with boat using hooks and if this
