A New Smart Waste Managing System

Abstract

The continuous growth of the generated volumes of waste and garbage grasps the attention of researchers and experts in various fields. The collection and management process of this massive and distributed amount of waste presents a challenge, as it needs to be collected and processed as fast as possible. The accumulated amounts of waste can be a fundamental source for emitting poisonous gases and producing toxic material to the soil which leads to deadly consequences for the environment and causes serious health issues for humans so it is critical to collect it as fast as possible. To handle this scenario, this study proposed an online waste management system to monitor the status of generated trash all-around smart cities then distribute and schedule available garbage trucks accordingly. The proposed solution provides a web-based system and a mobile application to manage the organization of these wastes and facilitate the garbage collection by the drivers. The proposed solution provides an 80% faster convergence system in comparison with traditional garbage collecting method. The mobile application makes the waste pick up easier for the drivers and enable them to use better roads. Therefore, garbage collection costs and efforts have been saved, while less consumed energy is required.
