\begin{abstract}
Waste collection and management is an integrated

part of both city and village life. Lack of optimized and efficient
waste collection system vastly affect public health and costs more. The
prevailing traditional waste collection system is neither optimized nor
efficient. Internet of Things (IoT) has been playing a great role in
making human life easier by making systems smart, adequate and self
sufficient. Thus, this paper proposes an IoT based efficient waste
collection system with smart bins. It does real-time monitoring of the
waste bins and determines which bins are to emptied in every cycle of
waste collection. The system

also presents an enhanced navigation system that shows the best route to
collect wastes from the selected bins. Four waste bins are assumed in
the city of Mount Pleasant, Michigan at random location. The proposed
system decreases the travel distance by 30.76\% on an average in the
assumed scenario, compared to the traditional waste collection system.
Thus it reduces the fuel cost and human labor making the system
optimized and efficient by enabling real-time monitoring and enhanced
navigation.%
