IoT and Smart Sensor Based Waste Management System for Smart Cities

Due to increasing population and environmental concerns, urban waste management has become an important issue in the urban environment worldwide. Traditional waste management practices this can be inefficient and lead to over packaging or using resources that cannot be collected. To solve these problems, this paper presents a garbage monitoring system (GMS) that uses Internet of Things (IOT) technology to monitor the garbage collection level in real time. GMS consists of boxes equipped with sensors that continue to measure their levels and send it to the central database of IOT communication protocols such as Wi-Fi or cellular networks. Data now allows cities or waste management companies to optimize collections and schedules based on actual collection levels rather than planned schedules.
