IoT-Based Conceptual Framework for Baler Waste Disposal Management System

The presence of infectious waste stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic added environmental issues for solid waste management. Most of the rural areas such as Baler and Aurora in the Phillippines recently established solid waste management with a considerable budget to address the problem related to the number 11 UN Sustainable Development Goals, “To make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”. One of the serious concerns is trash identification, monitoring, and management. Manual tracking of waste is laborious and expensive without recent technologies using the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Cloud. This research was carried out to present the IoT-Based Baler Waste Disposal Management System to address the issue of garbage collection using smart technology.
