The Internet of Things (IoT) is bringing a new dimension to waste management. By embedding sensors in trash bins and other waste management tools, real-time data about waste levels, types, and locations can be gathered. This facilitates better decision-making. For instance, municipalities can adjust waste collection schedules based on actual need rather than estimates, leading to fuel savings and reduced emissions. Moreover, IoT devices can be integrated into broader city management systems, streamlining urban operations and ensuring that waste management aligns seamlessly with other municipal services.
