The growing challenge of waste management in rapidly urbanizing cities calls for a shift toward more advanced and sustainable solutions. Traditional systems are no longer sufficient to cope with the increasing volume and complexity of waste. Smart waste management, driven by IoT, data analytics, and optimization techniques, offers a transformative approach that enhances operational efficiency, reduces environmental impacts, and promotes social and economic sustainability. This research paper addresses the mounting inefficient waste challenges and waste management system existing in Jalandhar and Chandigarh city so as to prioritize the implementation of these advanced systems in Ludhiana city, ensuring a cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable urban future.
