The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept in which surrounding objects are connected through wired and wireless networks without user intervention. In the field of IoT, the objects communicate and exchange information to provide advanced intelligent services for users. 
This project deals with the problem of waste management in smart cities, where the garbage collection system is not optimized. This project enables the organizations to meet their needs of smart garbage management systems. This system allows the user to know the fill level of each garbage bin in a locality or city at all times, to give a cost-effective and time-saving route to the truck drivers. 

OBJECTIVES 
The key research objectives are as follows: 
• The proposed system would be able to automate the solid waste monitoring process and management of the overall collection process using IOT (Internet of Things). 
• The Proposed system consists of main subsystems namely Smart Trash System(STS) and Smart Monitoring and Controlling Hut(SMCH). 
• In the proposed system, whenever the waste bin gets filled this is acknowledged by placing the circuit at the waste bin, which transmits it to the receiver at the desired place in the area or spot. 
• In the proposed system, the received signal indicates the waste bin status at the monitoring and controlling system.

ADVANNTAGES OF SMART WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Less time and fuel consumption as the trucks go only to the filled containers.

•  Decreased noise, traffic flow and air pollution as a result of less trucks on the roads.
•  Our smart operating system enable two way communication between the dustbin deployed in the city and service operator. Therefore the focus is only on collection of route based fill level of the containers.
•  The sensors installed in the containers provide real time information on the fill level. This information helps determine when and where to prioritise collection.
•  In this way both service providers and citizens benefit from an optimized system which results in major cost savings and less urban pollution.
•  Reduces the infrastructure (trucks, containers), operating (fuel) and maintenance costs of the service by upto 30%. 

APPLICATION OF SMART WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

• This can be best used by municipal corporation for their betterment of management regarding collection of wastes.
• With the help of proper technology (GPS & SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS) we can guide the trucks to choose the shortest path.
• It also favours the “SMART CITY” project and “DIGITAL INDIA
