- Abstract: Every human being in this world produces waste. South Africa is a developing
country with many townships that have limited waste resources. Over-increasing
population growth overpowers the volume of most municipal authorities to
provide even the most essential services. Waste in townships is produced via
littering, dumping of bins, cutting of trees, dumping of waste near rivers, and
overrunning of waste bins. Waste increases diseases, air pollution, and
environmental pollution, and lastly increases gas emissions that contribute to
the release of greenhouse gases. The ungathered waste is dumped widely in the
streets and drains contributing to flooding, breeding of insects, rodent
vectors, and spreading of diseases. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to
design a smart waste management system for the city of Johannesburg. The city
of Johannesburg contains waste municipality workers and has provided some areas
with waste resources such as waste bins and trucks for collecting waste. But
the problem is that the resources only are not enough to solve the problem of
waste in the city. The waste municipality uses traditional ways of collecting
waste such as going to each street and picking up waste bins. The traditional
way has worked for years but as the population is increasing more waste is
produced which causes various problems for the waste municipalities and the
public at large. The proposed system consists of sensors, user applications,
and a real-time monitoring system. This paper adopts the experimental
methodology.

The population of the urban areas is increasing daily, and this migration is causing serious environmental pollution.
New generation technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT)-based waste management systems, can help improve this serious issue.
In this article, we combine these two technologies to offer an acceptable solution to this problem.

We use machine learning to generate estimates of shade-tree cover and carbon stocks across a West African region.
We find that existing shade-tree cover is low, and not spatially aligned with climate threat.
But we also find enormous unrealized potential for the sector to counterbalance a large proportion of their high carbon footprint annually.
