This project aims to solve the common problem of overflowing garbage bins at main collection points in Malaysian cities by introducing the study of iot-smart waste management system. The study used Internet of Things technology and data analytics, the solution involves keeping a constant eye on garbage bins to predict and prevent overflow issues. The proposed system uses IoT sensors placed in the bins to gather data on how full they are and other important details. Continuous monitoring allows for quick action, leading to better waste collection routes and resource use. To make sure the solution works well, challenges like sensor precision, data transfer, and visualisation of data will be addressed. The goal of this initiative is to develop a smart waste management system which significantly reduces overflow problems, improves waste collection routes, and leads to healthier and more sustainable urban environments in Malaysian cities.
