Imagine your rubbish bin telling the municipal authorities when it is full and needs to be collected, and municipal waste collection operations being able to optimise their fleet fuel consumption according to this data thanks to predefined schedules. This is not a far-fetched scenario thanks to the internet of things (IoT). In the future, smart African cities will be able to achieve zero waste, improve services to citizens and reduce municipalities' operational costs thanks to smarter, more efficient waste collection systems.
