The Internet of Things, commonly known as IOT, is an ever-evolving technology which gives solutions that makes each aspect of everyday human life easier.Creating a smart waste management is one implementation that improves the sanitation and collection of waste.This paper aims in developing a waste management system that is cost-efficient and providing a mobile application to monitor and track the waste level.By making use of inexpensive sensors, microprocessors, the group was able to create a cheaper waste management system.Using firebase database and android studio, the group was able to create a mobile application that provide a graphical user interface (GUI) which serves as a visual presentation of the waste level as well as provide a notification when the waste reaches a certain amount of level.The main advantage of the prototype is its deployment since building it is not expensive and therefore able to be mass produced at a low cost.
