Abstract

The Underground Smart Waste Chute (USWC) is an innovative solution designed to revolutionise waste management in landed residential areas. By integrating advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), automated sorting, and pneumatic waste collection, USWC offers an efficient and hygienic waste disposal system. Its primary aim is to address challenges in waste segregation and inefficient collection systems while promoting sustainability. USWC features include real-time waste monitoring, automated compaction, and sealed systems to reduce odors and pests. The technology fosters proper waste sorting and minimizes plastic usage, encouraging environmentally conscious behaviors among residents. Its integration with IoT optimises collection routes, reducing operational costs and environmental footprints. USWC has a significant socioeconomic impact because it promotes cleaner living conditions, eases the burden on landfill capacity, and improves public health and safety by reducing waste-related hazards. Economically, the system promotes innovation and reduces waste management expenses, giving local industries the chance to go commercial. USWC is a scalable and economically feasible solution that has the potential to complement urban modernisation initiatives and sustainability goals. It sets the standard for waste management procedures worldwide and helps to build resilient, environmentally friendly communities in addition to addressing waste management issues.
