The document discusses an Internet of Things (IoT) based smart waste management system that uses sensors and data analytics to optimize waste collection and disposal processes. Key benefits include more efficient waste handling through automated collection, environmental sustainability by reducing pollution and promoting recycling, and enabling data-driven decisions. The system works by sensors detecting waste levels and alerting for collection, smart vehicles optimizing routes, and efficient waste processing methods like recycling and converting waste to energy. Case studies show cities have seen reduced fuel use, improved recycling rates, and lower operational costs through implementation.
