Smart Waste Management System using IoT

Abstract

With rapid increase in population, the issues related to sanitation with respect to garbage management are degrading immensely. It creates unhygienic conditions for the citizens in the nearby surrounding, leading to the spread of infectious diseases and illness. To avoid this problem, IoT based “Smart Waste Management” is the best and trending solution. In the proposed system, public dustbins will be provided with embedded device which helps in real time monitoring of level of garbage in garbage bins. The data regarding the garbage levels will be used to provide optimized route for garbage collecting vans, which will reduce cost associated with fuel. The load sensors will increase efficiency of data related to garbage level and moisture sensors will be used to provide data of waste segregation in a dust bin. The analysis of ceaseless data gathered will help municipality and government authorities to improve plans related to smart waste management with the help of various system generated reports.
