IOT-based Smart Trash Bin for Real-Time Monitoring and Management of Solid Waste

Abstract

The significant growth of the Internet is leading to the emergence of new technology, the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is the backbone of future communication systems where everything will communicate and share information smartly without human instructions. In smart cities, one of the important problems is waste management. Monitoring and disposing of waste are very important to keep the environment green and clean. This can be efficiently achieved by minimizing human involvement and using IoT-based networks. This paper aims to solve the waste management issue using the Smart Waste Mechanism (SWM). Install Smart Bins (SB) in various optimum locations and communicate with the Trash Collecting Vehicles (TCV). Optimize their routes to the designated Smart Bin for collection whenever prompted by the Smart Bin.
