Abstract In the last half century, waste generation has grown multi-fold worldwide, so solid waste management has emerged as a ubiquitous problem. This unmanaged waste affects human health, creates environmental pollution, and is an obstacle to the sustainable development of urban regions. The study has identified issues related to the existing SWM service framework, especially in developing countries. It has briefly discussed the concept of smart and sustainable urban development, i.e., smart cities, to develop an understanding of SWM services in the context of smart city services. It also explains that the SWM services are crucial for creating the smart environment, one of the smart city development vision components. The literature is reviewed in the context of technical opportunities in SWM. The study has uncovered various technologies, namely spatial technologies, identification technologies, data acquisition technologies, data communication technologies, and artificial intelligence, to develop smart solutions for different services related to SWM systems. These identified technologies have a broad range of practical applications in various phases of the SWM service process, from its inception to the final disposal; therefore, they can be effectively used to overcome the identified problems. The research has built a smart bin using an ultrasonic sensor to overcome the issue of real-time waste monitoring. It has also implemented the RFID-based waste collection system and demonstrated the results. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
