ABSTRACT
The smart city consists not only the suffocated facilities but also it should consist of a smart solid
waste management system. The huge generation of solid waste and shortage of land for dumping
results in search of best schemes. Collection, transportation, and disposal of solid waste is a huge
concern and also a very challenging task. Proper tools like IoT should be employed to integrate
these works smoothly and efficiently. IoT consists of sensors which help in indicating the waste
levels and collection routes to the server, from which the waste was collected in a quick and
efficient manner. IoT contributes in all stages of waste management, which results in saving of
time and money.
Keywords: IoT, Waste Management, Solid Waste,
1. INTRODUCTION
The ultimate goal of IoT applications in waste management is producing leaner operations
and delivering higher quality services to citizens. IoT applications in waste management are
engaging citizens and cities alike in the project of making our waste practices more sustainable.
Optimizing garbage collection routes based on actual disposal unit fill levels—as measured by fill
level sensors—is one such application that's proving to be quite impactful. Ultimately, truly
transforming waste management will require deeper collaboration between public and private
stakeholders.

CONCLUSIONS
We presented an intelligent waste collection system. The system is based on IoT sensing
prototype. It is responsible for measuring the waste level in the wastebins and later send this data
(through Internet) to a server for storage and processing. This data helps to compute the optimized
collection routes for the workers. Our virtual resource performed in an expected manner,
responding to all requests no matter the concurrency level they faced. The characterization
analysis of the study regions showed that all locations had a high proportion of organic waste in
the MSW generated and hence can act as potential sources of biogas generation.
