Industry 4.0: IoT and Cloud Computing Enabled Smart Waste Management System

Waste management system is the practice of controlling garbage from the moment it is produced until its disposal. In other words it can be termed as a life cycle of garbage. The main objective behind waste management is to lessen the harmful effects of garbage on the environment and people's health. A substantial percentage of waste management is devoted to managing municipal solid waste, which is generated by business, residential, and industrial activity. Waste inevitably results from everything we undertake. As a result of the population expansion, waste management has evolved into one of the most difficult challenges facing our current generation. Overflowing trash cans are now a common sight; burning trash and dumping it outside has become a regular ritual. These factors have made a significant impact on the environment and the planet as a whole. In order to address this problem; we require an efficient and dynamic waste management system. In this research study, we presented a smart waste management system by integrating industry 4.0 enabled technologies such as (IoT) Internet of Things and cloud computing into the current waste management system.
