This research explores the feasibility of utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology in improving solid waste management and its collection in India, explicitly increasing collection rates within Municipal Corporations. Information is collected through a literature review and examination of various sources, such as government reports and research papers. The data indicates that India generates 62 million tonnes of solid waste annually, with only 70% of it being collected, 12 million tonnes treated, and 31 million tonnes sent to landfill sites, which means about 30% of the waste generated is not collected. The study's findings suggest that integrating IoT technology in solid waste management can significantly enhance collection rates and ultimately increase revenue for the nation. The study concludes that further research is necessary to understand the underlying causes of the problem and develop practical solutions. This research suggests solutions for managing garbage and trips in cities, resulting in a more efficient route for rubbish collection while lowering cost and time.
