The Internet of Things and Its Intervention For Waste Management in Smart Cities

Smart cities are becoming increasingly popular in modern culture as towns strive to embrace new technologies and approaches to enhance infrastructure and services for citizens. One of the key factors in creating a smart city is efficient waste management, and the Internet of Things (IoT) is playing a major role in this process. The IoT refers to the interconnectivity of everyday devices and appliances, allowing them to communicate and share data. This technology is being leveraged in waste management to increase efficiencies and reduce costs through the use of sensors and real-time monitoring. The intervention of IoT in smart cities to automate and improvise various waste management processes can pave the way for a better, cleaner city. IoT can be leveraged in smart cities for various aspects of waste management including waste bins monitoring, waste bin collection planning, waste segregation and recycling, etc. In this study we will be discussing the role of IoT in a few of the aspects and its potential impact in the pursuit of cleaner cities.
