Popis: Timely cleaning of dustbin is a big challenge and if left unaddressed, it may pose several health risks by making the place unhygienic. Current system for the waste management in local areas of small and highly populated cities is sluggish which leads to a lot of garbage strewn all over the city. The rate of generation of waste is so high that if the garbage collector doesn't visit a place for a couple of days it creates the conditions adverse. In covid-19 pandemic situation, it was very important to monitor and decompose medical waste properly. The handling of normal home garbage was also challenging due to lockdown. In this situation automatic monitoring and controlling of garbage using IOT can play a significance role in garbage management. This paper proposes a smart and fast approach for waste management by creating a network of smart dustbins equipped with sensors and microcontrollers in a city which is monitored by a central control unit to speed up the process in an intelligent and smart way thereby eliminating such hazardous conditions caused by the current sluggish system. The proposed system also takes into account the issue of improper internet connectivity.
