Internet of Things (IoT) contributes for the efficient e-waste management system within smart cities across the globe. Efficient waste collection is considered as a fundamental service for smart cities. Internet of things can be applied in smart cities forming an advanced platform for novel applications. In India, at present 429 million people dump 62 million garbage per year, out of which 8.9 million are hazardous wastes. Approximately, 14% of hazardous waste is e-wastes. At present, the waste collection system aims to provide high quality of service to the citizens of a smart city, but focus to e-waste management is least. Proper awareness about e-waste as well as e-waste management is need of the hour. While the whole country is marching towards the successful vision of smart cities for better live hood of citizens in all aspects, it is a must for us to learn, evaluate and implement the best global practices in e-waste management. Keeping this as objective, authors of this paper try to throw light on the best e-waste management practices implemented and adopted using IoT across the globe.
