Garbage is one of the major problems of India. People tend to throw the waste on the roadside without a thought. India is ranked amongst the dirtiest countries in the world. This problem can be solved when the general public of the country gets willingly involved in the cleaning process. GExAF is a system that will provide the public free fuel to travel when they take in some garbage. The basic idea is that the system can be installed in a truck’s cargo bed or a tractor’s trolley. This system consists of a sucking mechanism which uses vacuum and rotary brushes to suck in the garbage. The collected garbage will remain in the biogas plant for about 24 hours to convert it into biogas. The biogas will further be upgraded to bio-methane. This bio-methane can serve as a reserved fuel. This bio-methane will be compressed and stored for use when the primary fuel goes out. The non-biodegradable waste that remains can be carried out to the next chamber to dispose of. A sort of segregation system will be installed in the biogas plant itself. There exists a dual fuel Engine that can operate with two fuels. This engine can be installed in heavy-duty vehicles like truck and tractors. When the gasoline runs out, this stored bio-methane gas can run the engine. So, these truck drivers can pick up the roadside garbage into their trucks to make fuel out of them. The truck can be used just as before for different purposes.

Such a system, being necessary to solve the current problems like that of garbage and fuel, should be made as soon as possible.
