Smart waste management is one of the pillar of Smart city initiative. All cities, irrespective of their geographical location, size, economic level, spend huge amount of money every year for waste collection. The smart waste management mainly evades the congested collection of waste generated domestically which creates problems to manage its disposal. This concept is compatible mainly with the idea of smart cities. The idea of smart waste management is implementable in cities where waste production is considerably high but the effort put to control it is comparatively very low. It helps in auto-management of waste without human interaction in order to maintain a neat and clean environment. In order to overcome all these problems, the idea of smart waste management system came into picture.
