ABSTRACT

Problem Statement: Waste disposal in cities is


inefficient, and the safety and well-being of rag-
pickers are often neglected.
Title: Smart Waste Management and Safety Integration
for Rag-Pickers using IoT and AI.
Abstract:
Urban areas across the world, including in developing
nations like India, face growing challenges in waste
disposal due to increasing population, poor segregation
systems, and unorganized waste collection processes.
One critical but often overlooked stakeholder in this
ecosystem is the rag-picker — individuals who
contribute significantly to recycling but work in unsafe
and unhygienic conditions without recognition or
support.
This research proposes a smart waste management
system that integrates IoT-enabled smart bins for real-
time waste level monitoring and AI-based route
optimization for garbage collection. In parallel, a
mobile-based platform will be developed to map,
track, and support rag-pickers.
