Smart city approach to intelligent waste volume management

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study introduces an innovative system designed to revolutionize waste management by integrating technologies. The proposed solution leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) to create smart waste bins equipped with sensors that monitor fill levels in real time. These sensors transmit data to an IoT-based platform, where it is processed to optimize waste collection routes and generate actionable insights for resource allocation and service improvement. Additionally, the system empowers citizens by providing real-time access to waste bin statuses through a user-friendly mobile application or web interface. A functional prototype of the smart bin, along with the waste management application, was developed and tested in a real-world scenario. The results demonstrate the system’s potential to transform waste disposal practices, enhance operational efficiency, and optimize the use of economic and material resources.
