The issues related to the solid and solvable waste generation and its management has become a serious concern in both the rural and urban areas, as there is a lot of migration of people from rural area to urban area which had leads the population of that area increased to few folds. Due to large human population, the solid waste had also increased and thus the management of this solid waste is now a major challenge. Nowadays Internet of Things (IOT) has evolved as a promising Technology to solve the issues of solid waste management in smart city. IOT consist of Smart devices viz. Sensors, Global System for Modulation (GSM) and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology which are incorporated in the atmosphere to monitor and collect information. In our work we have implemented the efficient technology for solid waste management in IOT environment. IOT enabled waste bin monitoring and its location to transportation department through web link is provided for information in the Control room. The solid waste is then recycled at recycling centers and updates of this recycled material (compost) is sent to control room so we used it as fertilizer for soil.
