Waste not just nowadays, but since centuries is one of the biggest problems of the world. Many governments and people came and went, many revolutionists, scientists, philanthropists, etc. too tried work on this aspect of life, but 100% output was not witnessed in any case. As time passes by, population around the world increased, hence resulting in large number of waste. Slowly and gradually this number grew so high that ultimately for many, it became problem to manage such enormous amounts, resulting in disastrous outcomes. With the help of modern technology, here in this paper we tried to solve this issue. To at least begin all on our own, we started it with implementing this system in our university, as we know that well begin is half done, soon it started to produce pretty good outputs and issue of mismanagement of waste, at least in our University, was resolved to pretty much extent. This paper focuses on how a self-designed array of Ultrasonic sensors can be used to get best possible results of dustbin’s status based on amount of waste in it. Further how fast will system be synchronizing and giving its current status in a span of few minutes to main server. Further locations of dustbins will also be prescribed in system hence enhancing real-time output effects of surrounding as well, helping in better outputs and analyses.

Due to enhanced healthcare needs brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic, the amount of biomedical waste generated has also increased manifold across the globe. With the world in global crisis due to the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has put great pressure on the biomedical waste management system in India and around the world. To control the spread of the COVID-19 virus, proper disposal of the waste is essential to reduce any risk of secondary transmission. This paper investigates the situation of biomedical waste management in the city of Thane in Maharashtra due to the onset of COVID-19 and suggests some key recommendations to the policymakers to help handle biomedical waste from possible future pandemics. The study found that there was an 81% increase in the total biomedical waste (BMW) generation in 2020, when compared to 2019 and the yellow category waste from COVID-19 centres was the highest contributor to this waste. It was also found that though there was a slight increase in yellow category waste, the total biomedical waste from non- COVID healthcare facilities (HCFs) was comparable to that of the waste generated in HCFs during 2019, revealing that there was conscious reduction in the usage of single use PPEs at non- COVID HCFs. The city, despite owning a Central Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF), was dependent on another incinerator at the Hazardous Waste Management Treatment facility (HWTF) for treatment of the additional waste generated. Unforeseen situation like these, expose the vulnerability of our existing biomedical waste management system and reinforces the need for investing and improving them for strengthening preparedness in the future. The situation also demands periodic education on importance of source segregation and waste reduction through rational use, disinfection and disposal of PPEs.

This review summarizes waste management and there is a need for better understanding the scientific findings for recycling the waste materials and suggests areas where further research is needed. In major cities around the world, waste management today is based on a comprehensive, sustainable and environmentally sound system of maximization. From this perspective you are one of the most important issues in urban management. From this perspective you are one of the most important issues in urban management. Therefore, a number of cities around the world have succeeded in achieving an integrated and efficient management to achieve this goal by designing and implementing a variety of programs using state of the art technology separation of origin, collection, transportation and processing mechanisms. The main components of a modern waste management system generally include production, collection, separation, recycling and disposal. Separation, processing and recycling may occur at any stage of waste stream management. Design and implementation of a comprehensive sustainable waste management system require consideration of different waste characteristics in the region. Today’s humanity has been subjected to some form of consumerism. Lowering the quality standards for all types of goods and products, reducing, lowering some standards for quality control of goods, lacking serious quality control over products, increasing population, increasing consumer demand, diversifying goods, fashionable packaging, people’s desire to buy product. Stylish and thousands of said and untold indices result in consumerism and the consequence of producing millions of tons of different types of waste that are produced on a daily basis.

In this paper, we proposed an IoT based solar-powered smart waste management system which is suitable for any kind city or town in both developed and developing countries that can ensure proper collection, transportation, and disposal of household and industrial waste with real-time remote monitoring. To maintain the green and clean environment around us, precise collection and disposal of garbage in a regular fashion are necessary. The primary goal of this research work is to provide a complete smart solution for waste collection and disposal hence ensuring a comfortable environment. The proposed system enables real-time remote monitoring of solar-powered several smart bins located in different points in the city which are connected to the control station through long-range (LoRa) communication device and also supervises the waste collector activities like collection and disposal time using Automated Vehicles Locating System (AVLS).

The management of MSW is a major concern in several cities of developing countries due to its public health and environmental sustainability implications. This paper thus presents an overview of the current solid waste management practices and problems in some selected states in Nigeria. In addition to the comprehensive review of MSW generation, its characterization, collection, and treatment options in the considered states, an attempt was made to evaluate the major waste–to–energy indicators such as calorific values and energy (electricity) recovery potential. The legislations in place at the federal level to maintain healthy environment is also lucidly presented. An estimated electricity recovery potential in the range of 48.31 to 933.69 MW with a total of about 2600MW from six states was established. Evidences from literature suggested that the existing solid waste management system is inefficient due to uncoordinated and properly planned waste management system. This paper concludes that the thermochemical conversion of waste-to-energy into electricity is a feasible option in Nigeria, although this might require the input of additional quantity of fuel to initiate combustion since the lower heating values of the considered MSW fall below the optimum stipulated by World bank.
