An IoT Enabled Smart Waste Management System in Concern with Indian Smart Cities

The Indian population is rapidly growing especially in the urban area. The most of the rural population is shifting to the urban area leads to the construction of new municipalities and rehabilitation of existing cities. The Indian Government as a result of this committed to the development of “Smart cities mission”. The increase in population leads to an increase in generation of waste and this may impact on public and environment health. The key factors responsible for the generation of this waste are industrialization, urbanization, and growth in an economic way. The current systems of waste management in India are not that much efficient which may lead to an overflow of waste in most of the places. A clean and hygienic environment is essential for health and provides clean living space. The remedy for this problem is a “Smart bin”. Hence, an IoT enabled Smart waste management system is proposed and its performance is analyzed.
