Waste management has become one of the most important issues in our country. From densely populated cities to smaller rural communities, waste management systems keep our homes and communities free from unwanted clutter. The key to efficient waste management is to ensure useful segregation and disposal. The main problem in our country is the delay in the collection and disposal of waste. This is mainly due to the human intervention involved in the process of waste management. Smart Waste Management System deals with everyday problems of waste disposal by reducing this human intervention. In this paper we have implemented an efficient waste management system for the segregation and timely disposal of waste. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
