Implementation of IoT-Based Automated Waste Bin

Abstract

Urban waste management represents a significant challenge in the context of growing urbanization and environmental concerns. This study explores the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT)-based automated waste bins as an innovative solution for enhancing the efficiency of waste collection systems in urban areas. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses to provide a comprehensive understanding of the technology's impact. The implementation of IoT- based automated waste bins has resulted in notable improvements in operational efficiency. Real-time monitoring of fill levels enables dynamic route optimization, reducing travel distances and fuel consumption. Survey results indicate positive user acceptance, with end-users expressing satisfaction with the convenience and reliability of automated waste collection services. Financial benefits are evident through the reduction in operational costs, attributed to optimized routes and schedules. Furthermore, the technology contributes to environmental sustainability by minimizing the environmental footprint of waste collection operations. The study also highlights challenges, such as IoT data security concerns and initial implementation costs, emphasizing the need for careful consideration in the adoption process. The findings suggest promising implications for the future integration of IoT in waste management systems. Recommendations include further research on IoT data security,. In conclusion, the implementation of IoT- based automated waste bins presents a viable and effective solution for addressing the challenges of urban waste management. The study contributes valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and technology developers seeking sustainable and efficient waste management solutions in the ever-evolving urban landscape.
