ABSTRACT
This paper aims to study in detail and review the existing and proposed methods for effective waste management coupled with Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-based management systems. This paper also proposes a smart waste segregation system for smart cities improvised with IoT and cloud integration. The waste is segregated into different categories like dry, wet, biodegradable, non-biodegradable, metal, and non-metal. The waste level in each bin can be monitored using ultrasonic distance sensors, and this data can then be sent to the cloud. This allows various optimisations like finding the shortest route, filling only the necessary bins, etc. This paper studies proposed methods for such optimisations and smart waste management systems in detail.
