Abstract Urbanization has made waste management a major environmental and health issue. Growing populations and urban landscapes have overwhelmed traditional garbage management systems. Urbanization and fast city growth have made garbage management harder. Unethical trash disposal pollutes the environment and harms people. Traditional waste management systems typically lack efficiency and communication, delaying waste collection and resource allocation. This paper offer a Smart City Waste-Management Application that integrates hardware and software to solve this problem. An ESP_32 microcontroller and ultrasonic sensors assess waste bin fill levels in real time for a Firebase database. QR-coded smart bins update this data with map-based locations. A smart bin contains an update information through its embedded QR codes which display the map of its location. The software component is categorized into three primary sections: They are composed of Administrator, Driver and User, dedicated to particular activities. The Administrator manages system operations and is able to publish advisory publications. This is where the driver section assists the drivers with performing their tasks on collecting the wastes efficiently. The user segment enables people to sign up for the service, where they can interact with other participants through the chat page. The app also comes with a “Map” page which monitors driver movements as well as location of waste containers thereby saving on travel time. The activity page stands out to be of critical importance with a section on drivers’ activities and another one for following up on users’ payments. Moreover, it has a subscription payment facility where subscribers can log in and access the application. Therefore, this Smart City Waste Management model integrates various elements including the ESP_32 and the ultrasonic device coupled with diverse software tools. The objective of this project includes straightening up these waste collection procedures, making them better for users, as well as effective waste management within the city. © The Institution of Engineering & Technology 2023.
