Abstract
Many municipalities and local organizations are currently planning to improve their services by applying information and communication technologies (ICT), especially Web-based approaches, to serve citizens, business, and the government agencies as well. Besides the quality of service, cost-effectiveness is a major criterion to be met. In this paper, we present a Web-based solution to urban and suburban waste management (Internet of wasted things), which employs smart bins, a wireless sensor network, and a back-end real-time data collection and communication system for managing waste collection in a cost-effective way. Results are gained by setting up a prototype smart waste management system (SWMS) in a local community in the lower north of Thailand. The system may be employed in similar projects, where cost-effectiveness is a major criterion regarding feasibility.
