Overflowing bins can be identified with a solid waste management system that uses RFID tags. A real-time monitoring of waste collection can be done with the help of this system.
Effective solid waste management is crucial for cities to maintain cleanliness and protect public health. With rising populations and consumption levels, cities must implement efficient systems to tackle the growing quantities of municipal solid waste. An integrated smart waste management system developed by NEC India can help cities eliminate solid waste in a sustainable manner.

The key lies in leveraging advanced technologies like RFID tags, GPS tracking of collection trucks, and real-time monitoring through CCTV cameras. For instance, RFID tags attached to garbage bins can transmit signals when they are full so trucks know which ones to empty. Meanwhile, GPS tracking provides real-time location and route info for collection vehicles to optimize operations.
Centralized dashboards can use data from these systems to identify overflowing bins, inactive trucks, and inefficient routes. City authorities can then take targeted action like rerouting trucks or adding bins. This improves waste collection efficiency and eliminates overflowing bins which are unsightly and unhygienic. The system can be seamlessly integrated into the legacy system.
For household collection, RFID tags can verify if waste was picked up from each home. Missed collections get automatically flagged for remedial action. Weighbridges at waste transfer stations monitor how much waste comes from each zone. This helps track progress and plan future strategies.

Grievance redressal channels allow citizens to report missed collections or overflowing bins. Their complaints get resolved faster when integrated with tracking data. CCTV feeds deter littering and illegal dumping, which reduces cleanup costs.
In essence, smart technologies provide granular real-time information to optimize routes, vehicle usage, and personnel allocation when collecting solid waste. They enable cities to plug gaps, streamline operations, and reduce overflowing bins and neighborhood dumps. Though requiring initial investment, such systems greatly improve efficiency and cleanliness. This is how technology-enabled waste management can help cities effectively eliminate solid waste.
