Smart Waste Donation and Redistribution System

Food wastage has become a serious global concern as large quantities of edible food are discarded daily while millions of people suffer from hunger. Traditional donation systems often lack proper coordination, monitoring, and transparency between donors and charitable organizations. This paper proposes a Smart Waste Donation and Redistribution System that integrates Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and RFID authentication technologies to reduce food wastage and improve resource redistribution efficiency. The proposed system uses a smart donation container equipped with sensors, RFID modules, and microcontrollers to detect donated items and monitor environmental conditions such as temperature and gas levels.
