Practical IoT-Enabled Monitoring Platform for Solid Waste Collection: A case study for the municipality of Baba Hassen, Algiers, Algeria

This work presents a step forward solution for solid waste collection using an adequate IoT-based practical monitoring platform. The system is designed to assist Algerian municipalities in collecting solid waste by monitoring the fullness status of outdoor bins. The solution framework is based on (1) wireless sensor nodes connecting the (2) intelligent bins to the (3) monitoring station by sending the bins filling level status for analysis in order to control the waste in real-time and avoid bins over-filling. This process leads to an improvement in waste management via bins collection-based route optimization process. With the proposed solution, the benefit would be the timely-efficient waste collection, operating costs and gas emissions reduction, and preserve the environment from pollution with future prediction of waste generation.
