Smart waste management systems typically involve the use of sensors to monitor the level of waste in trash bins and to detect when they need to be emptied. These sensors can be placed in both public and private areas and can transmit data to a central management system that can optimize collection schedules, reducing the time and cost associated with waste collection.

Data analytics and machine learning algorithms are used to analyze the data collected from sensors and other sources, such as time and historical data, to predict the amount and type of waste that will be generated during certain periods . This helps to optimize the waste management process by ensuring that the right resources are allocated to collect the trash at the right time.

Overall, smart waste management systems offer a more efficient approach to waste management that can benefit the users and trash disposal service providers.
