Smart Trucks: An IoT-based Novel Approach for Smart and Effective Waste Management System

Improper waste management systems are a serious problem faced by almost all countries nowadays. In this paper, we have proposed an IoT-based environmental-friendly methodology for waste management. In the present scenario, there is a need to segregate waste before as well as after collection and classify it into biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste categories. This segregated biodegradable waste can be further recycled to produce bio-compost and fertilizers. Smart Trucks based on IoT with sensors will be used to collect garbage from the homes of smart cities. The waste will be segregated at the level of the house into dry and wet waste categories. This segregated waste will be further segregated by smart trucks. Smart trucks will not only effectively manage the waste collection process but also decompose and segregate the waste. This new solid Waste Management System System will keep the cities clean and prevent the spread of various diseases and environmental damage. It will bring deep reform to society.
