The Internet of Things is a network of physical devices embedded with electronics, software, sensors. With the growth of cities, the waste produced also increases. Many of the world’s developing cities are still lacking in the area of waste management, in particular, the collection of garbage within the cities. Because of this, garbage tends to pile up in certain areas. This not only poses a health risk to the surrounding communities, but also creates unpleasant environments for the residents. To provide a solution to this problem, a smart garbage monitoring system is therefore proposed to tackle the issues faced. This system will allow the city authorities to better manage their resources in the collection of garbage and provide a platform that will allow for an efficient garbage collection system. This paper proposes a smart alert system for garbage clearance by giving an alert signal to the municipal authorized personnel for instant cleaning of dustbin with proper verification based on level of garbage filling. This process is aided by the ultrasonic sensor which is interfaced with Arduino UNO to check the level of garbage filled in the dustbin and sends the alert to the municipal web server once if garbage is filled.
