IoT based waste management system leverage technology to improve the efficiency and sustainability of waste collection and disposal processes. These systems utilize sensors, actuators, and communication networks to gather data, monitor waste levels, optimize collection routes, and enhance overall waste management practices.
Key Components of IoT-Based Waste Management Systems:
Smart bins: Equipped with sensors to measure fill levels, weight, and even detect the type of waste.
Waste collection vehicles: Connected to a central system to receive real-time updates on bin fill levels and optimize routes.
Central monitoring system: Processes data from smart bins and vehicles to provide insights into waste generation patterns, identify areas with high waste accumulation, and track collection efficiency.
