Abstract: Smart-Waste Management System involves the collection of the waste generated in separate dustbins that are equipped with Arduino based automated system. The segregation of the waste will be done by the IoT based system; the sensor will detect and segregate the waste into recyclable and non-recyclable waste. As with the increment in population the amount of garbage generation per year is increasing as well. Most of the garbage generated is left untreated and the garbage dumping places and garbage dumpsters are becoming more unhygienic and polluted. After the COVID-19 pandemic many people prefer contact less interaction. Automated-dustbins are the best ways to deal with this situation. The dustbins will be controlled by Arduino components allowing it to open when waste is detected; it will also notify the garbage collector when the dustbin capacity is full and the waste needs to be collected. So thus, the garbage collector need not to go collect the garbage unnecessarily. Secondly, after the waste is collected the wet garbage is being dumped and buried underground whereas the dry garbage needs to be segregated on the basis of recyclable and non-recyclable waste. The waste segregation is based on the sensor and system based on IoT that allows to segregate the waste into categories like wet, metallic, paper-plastics, etc. These will lead to save of fuel and time, at the same time automated system will lead to contactless collection of waste and segregation of waste will help to treat waste properly, classify them into categories and proceed them for further processes. This way the amount of unprocessed and untreated waste will get reduced to some extent; resulting in less pollution
