Abstract: 
In the present era of information and technology, the most important problem faced by the municipal authorities is the garbage collection from various parts of the city. We need is to have a monitoring system that gives information about garbage in different localities immediately to the concerned person. The aim of this work is to design a cost effective and portable system, that enable its use for making cities clean using smart technology. The design has been carried out to cater to the current waste management situation and optimize by providing an affordable waste management solution as the main objective. The designed system also has an automatic opening of the latch of the bin when someone is detected nearby, makes announcement, moves on Radio Frequency (RF) controlled trolley and sends information regarding the level of the bin to the person incharge for collection. The trolley design specifications are also discussed in the present study.
This work introduces a groundbreaking Smart Waste Management System that harnesses the power of the Internet of Things (IoT) to revolutionize waste collection and disposal. Overall, this system not only addresses the pressing issue of efficient waste disposal but also promotes sustainability and community engagement through its display of data on blynk app. It represents a promising step towards cleaner, greener, and smarter urban environments.
