Smart Garbage Collection Monitoring Systems

Abstract

Solid Waste Management is a challenge for cities' authorities. As per the Municipal Solid Waste Management and Handling Rules of 2000 in India, waste collection and dumping is the responsibility of the Municipal Committees/Corporations. But unfortunately, the waste management is not paid enough attention and the duties are thus performed poorly by these local bodies. This leads to numerous problems related to sanitation, health and the environment. Keeping all this in mind innovative system is proposed which will help to keep the cities clean. This system monitors the level of waste in garbage bins and informs about the level of garbage collected in the garbage bins via a SMS.
