Abstract: Multiple mobile or web applications are combined in smart cities to create comfortable human habitation. Making an
efficient, effective, and ecologically friendly rubbish management system is one of these alternatives. The current trash
collection system involves daily or weekly rounds of routine garbage trucks, which not only don't cover every part of town, but
may also be a wholly inefficient use of public funds. This idea offers a low-cost mobile or web-based system that the
government may use to effectively handle the enormous volumes of trash that are collected every day, as well as a much
better answer to the nuisance of electric pigs for the people. Additionally, all users of this app can access the Google map to
view the whereabouts of the garbage collector. This is accomplished by a network of smart bins that employ cloud-based
monitoring and analysis tools to provide garbage trucks with predicative routes. For the workforce and therefore the citizens,
an internet app is created that principally offers the generated routes for the labour and locates the closest available smart bin
for citizens.

Keywords: Rubbish management, Smart bin, Garbage trucks, Generated routes, Smart city.

b) Identify available drivers or garbage collectors:
Retrieve a list of drivers or garbage collectors
who are available for task assignment. This list
may include their names, IDs, and other
relevant information.
c) Select a driver: Choose the appropriate driver
or garbage collector for the task based on
factors such as their availability, location, or
assigned area.
d) Specify the pickup location: Provide the specific
location where the trash needs to be picked up.
This could include the street address,
neighborhood, or any other relevant details.
e) Set the task details: Define the details of the
task, such as the date and time for the pickup,
any special instructions, or additional notes if
necessary.
f) Assign the task: Assign the task to the selected
driver or garbage collector by linking the task
details with their ID or name in the system.
g) Notify the driver: Send a notification or alert to
the driver, informing them about the assigned
task. This notification can be in the form of an
email, SMS, or through a dedicated
communication channel within the system.
h) Monitor and track the task: Keep track of the
assigned task's status and progress through the
admin interface. This allows the administrator to
ensure that the task is completed within the
specified timeframe. Fig.3 software project plan
