In recent years, due to the increase in population, there are various challenges that are arising in this entire world. Waste management is one among those problems which has to be addressed immediately for a healthy and sustainable environment. It is not only an issue faced by the government but also by every individual since improper management of waste causes environmental pollution and health problems. It is necessary for the development of a smart and reliable solution to overcome this situation. The Internet of Things(IoT) along with Cloud computing could pave a way for developing a Smart Waste Management model. An analysis of existing waste management solutions is done in this paper. The aim of this paper is to discuss various factors involved in smart waste management and to describe an IoT based smart bin model along with route optimization . Finally, the advantages in implementing the proposed method and few ideas of how to improve the system in future is discussed.
