Smart waste management system for decision makers by using smart bins - a case study for an Australian municipality

ABSTRACT

Waste Management has become a challenging topic for fast-growing areas in many countries. The situation became worse when more and more countries have banned the import of different types of wastes. In this paper, we showcase a real-life example of an intelligent way of managing waste using Smart Bins over the Internet of Things and an integration with a dashboard system for decision-makers. We examined if there is any correlation between the smart bins’ fullness and the date or month.
