SMART WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING IOT

This project presents an IoT and Machine Learning (ML)-powered system designed to revolutionize traditional municipal waste collection practices by enabling real-time monitoring and dynamic route optimization. The proposed solution utilizes ultrasonic sensors placed within waste bins to accurately measure fill levels and wirelessly transmit this data via a central gateway to a cloud-based platform. The system’s core innovation lies in its integration of a dynamic route optimization algorithm, which processes the real-time fill-level data. Instead of following fixed, inefficient schedules, this algorithm generates the most efficient collection route for the garbage fleet, targeting only those bins that are near capacity. This approach significantly reduces collection frequency and vehicle mileage.
