__Current global advancement heavily relies on technology, particularly the Internet of Things (IoT), which facilitates device connectivity through cloud computing and web applications for enhanced operational efficiency.Smart cities are increasingly grappling with significant waste management challenges.This project introduces an innovative system designed to maintain cleanliness in urban environments.By employing a pick-and-place robot to collect litter from public spaces such as parks, streets, and parking lots, we aim to improve waste management efforts.Non-governmental organizations have made strides in cleaning public areas, but the initial step of gathering scattered garbage is crucial before effective segregation and disposal can occur.This paper presents a novel approach to developing a modular, scalable, and cost-effective garbage collection system.By leveraging IoT technology, we establish a constant connection between a central server and a network of autonomous waste-collecting robots.Our system aims to yield accurate results while significantly reducing operational costs, thereby minimizing the human effort required in waste collection.We propose a network of interconnected robots rather than focusing on a single unit, optimizing time, energy, and efficiency.The challenge lies in balancing accuracy, efficiency, and cost in the context of robotic garbage collection. I. INTRODUCTIONTo create greener, safer, and more efficient urban environments, the Internet of Things (IoT) plays a pivotal role.Implementing a robust waste management system is essential to prevent the spread of diseases associated with improper waste disposal.This project proposes a smart mechanism for enhancing urban waste management practices.The IoT connects various devices, enabling remote control and monitoring.Waste generation is a pressing global issue that demands immediate attention.Inadequate waste management leads to significant problems, including health risks, transport safety hazards, wildlife endangerment, and visual
