IoT Based Smart Trash Collection Management System

Abstract

This project focuses on a new, smart, and easy way for the municipality to empty out trash cans in a more efficient and cost-effective way, based on IOT technology. With a rapidly growing city like Hebron, more and more trash cans are placed all over the city, and with an increasing population, the waste production increases. A new and innovative system would benefit the city as well as the citizens living in the it. This project would benefit citizens by giving them a cleaner environment. It aims to make the city smarter by having the trash cans in the road, in the street or in the front of home emptied as soon as they are full. It would also help the government save money by sending the closest garbage trucks to the right places and in the shortest amount of time possible using a Dijkstra’s algorithm (short path algorithm). With a problem that is just going to increase as time goes by, our project helps to put a solution by introducing new technology and integrate it with the traditional way of cleaning waste. Making the waste cleaning IoT based, which would make the process more efficient, and lead the city to be more technologically advanced, and be on its way to become a smart city
