IOT Assisted MQTT for Segregation and Monitoring of Waste for Smart Cities

In this paper, we propose a design for segregation and monitoring of waste using Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) in order to manage the waste collection. Smart waste management is essential for maintaining clean environment. Because, now-a-days unorganized and non-systematic waste collection is the major issue in the society. Therefore, in need of solution to collect waste in effective manner. The solution for this problem is given by embedded IoT system that will monitor the amount of waste deposited, for which an integrated platform where segregation and monitoring of waste have been presented. In segregation part, wastes are separated as dry waste and wet waste and in monitoring part, the bins with dry and wet wastes are embedded with sensors and the level of bin is transmitted via IoT. IoT is the system of interrelated computing devices which transfer data without requiring human to human interaction, it also introduce economical solution for massive data collection. The proprietary communication protocol that is used for transmission is MQTT. This protocol is the very light weight protocol used for messaging, designed with embedded systems, sensors and mobile applications in mind.
