Smart cities are increasingly utilizing IoT sensing technologies to address urban challenges more effectively. Traditional 4G/5G technology-based measurement systems may not be suitable for applications requiring thousands of IoT nodes, making Low Power Wide Area Network (LP-WAN) technologies like LoRaWAN more suitable. This article focuses on waste management, a critical aspect of smart cities. Despite societal pressure for segregation and recycling, there is no guarantee that the collected waste will be processed correctly. To address this, a LoRaWAN system is explored to monitor waste composition information in smart bins. This data helps to monitor waste bin fullness levels in real time, optimize garbage collection routes, and remotely manage collection schedules. We assessed the LoRaWAN system in the context of an actual city scenario using field measurements and simulation within a framework to incorporate LoRaWAN-enabled sensors and devices into existing infrastructure, aiming for operational efficiency, cost savings, and the overarching goal of enhanced environmental sustainability.
