IoT Assisted MQTT for Waste Management in Smart Cities

Due to drastic increase in economic and population growth in the nation there is huge development in the generation of the solid waste. Solid waste management is a main problem of surroundings in the whole globe. SWM is a huge problem not only in urban cities of India but in most of the nations in the globe. There is a requirement to evolve an effective system which will resolve this issue or decrease it to some level. It will support them to maintain their surroundings green and clean in an effective way. Today each government across the world is scheduling to construct smart cities or attempt to change the cities into smart cities. The solid waste collection in a smart city is an essential part for surroundings and its effect on society must be regarded seriously. By offering a whole internet of things based system the process of collecting, tracking and handling the solid waste can be monitored and automated easily and effectively.

        Nowadays, government across the world is planning to construct smart cities or attempt to transform the cities into smart cities. The solid waste collection is an essential point for surroundings and its effect on society must be regarded seriously in infrastructure of smart cities. IOT (internet of things) techniques can manage such services efficiently in smart cities. In this study solid management system based on Internet of Things is proposed which permits the municipal corporations to supervise the dustbin status over web server remotely and maintain the cities clean by optimizing time and cost needed for it. As soon as the dustbin has been filled its maximum level the department of waste management passes an alert message through GSM module so the department can send the waste collector vehicle to respective place to gather the garbage. The study helps in recognizing the smart garbage management systems that can be used to make the city clean and hygienic.
