Abstract

Abstract: Now-a-days, we see that dustbins that are kept at open areas in the urban regions are flooding as a result of addition of the garbage persistently. It makes unhygienic condition and upsetting smell around the surroundings resulting in spreading some savage ailments and human diseases. To overcome such issues, Advanced Waste Collection is proposed for Smart Cities which depend on Internet of Things (IoT). It will take fewer efforts to clean all the bins over the city by checking whether the dustbins are full or not.The proposed work includes a smart dustbin that separates dry and wet waste so that the waste recycling can be done more efficiently.To find the efficient way to find garbage collecting routes, we use shortest path algorithms like Dijkstra's Algorithm.
