Nirmal Kumar, Deepak N, Ashwini A Metri Abstract: The important challenge faced by developing smart cities is the processing of waste materials. The increasing amount of WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) makes their disposal a difficult situation to handle. WEEE is an economical instrument as the wastes consists more of key metals which are economically valuable. Due to separation of different types of key metals available and the restoration of the key metals being difficult the disposal of WEEE becomes hassle. The aim of this paper is to separate the key metals from the waste, weigh them and credit the corresponding amount to the particular citizen who disposes the waste. Keywords: WEEE Disposal I. INTRODUCTION Due to increase in population and rapid development of urban cities the management of waste materials becomes one of the most important factors that affect the economy. Due to the lack of efficient waste removal systems it becomes a challenge for the government to keep the cities clean. Thus solving such problems involves different social, economic and technical aspects to come together. The growth of technology and the rising need for waste disposal brings in the presence of IoT and RF-ID. It is better to collect waste rather than to leave it in the dustbin as a full bin may result in dramatic consequences. II. RELATED WORK In [1] the authors have proposed that IoT is being used for providing efficient ways of tracking garbage truck routes. The algorithm is implemented within simulation frame work which is available as open source for future extensions. In [2] the author explains about multiple criteria decision deciding approach for the important and convenient support tools for garbage management. In [3] the authors have discussed about the different health outcomes due to landfills incineration wastes and nuclear installation dumps. Waste management facilities are arranged in high population residing areas which will provide direct access to human exposure measurements and supported by information on health effect bio markers. In [4] the author has detailed a frame work about the problems of garbage collection and this paper tells about the optimisation vehicle routes for collecting solid wastes. The author provides solution for the adaptation of real life waste collection problems. Revised Manuscript Received on April 21, 2020. A.

Deepak, Innovation Manager, Forge, Tamil Nadu, India. deepak.n022@gmail.com, Ashwini Metri, Innovation Manager, Forge, Tamil Nadu, India. ash.metri@gmail.com Different implementation methods for the reduction of memory usage has been discussed. In [5] the authors have discusses about the impacts of smart city which enhances the quality of living. This paper provides the areas of natural resources and energy and the economy of people. The paper gives an understanding of urban, geographical and demographic wastes. This provides geographical location which gives an impact on smart city strategy. In [6] the authors have proposed about absorbing huge amount of resources and having major environmental impact. This helps members in the authority to attain cost effective methods of waste recovering. This provides an updated survey of solid waste management and has a wide bibliographic coverage and provides relationship between various problems. In [7] author compares municipal solid waste management methods in different countries and finds the important reasons for waste disposal. It provides literature on municipal solid waste logistics and compares issues addressed in various other research agenda. In [8] the author discusses about the tendency to demonstrate IoT integration with statistic networks, digital engineering and IoT image embedded with sensor to collect and transmit trash volume through internet. In [9] the paper focuses on the issue of heterogeneous waste management and provides a novel approach which aims for the provision of high performance cloud based memory service. In [10] the author proposes the importance of information and communication technology (ICT) to be an unavoidable design for solid waste management systems. The ICT is divided into four categories as spatial technologies, identification technologies, data communication technologies. In [11] the author tells about vehicle routing difficulties from a technical view for wide range of time. This gives a survey of real life applications of road transport routing. Some ideas on future scopes and real time implementation are imposed. In [12] the paper proposes the problem posed on the municipal budget which results in high cost and reduction in the understanding of various factors that disturbs the different levels of waste management. In [13] the author tells about the usage of RFID technology and its implementation and also about the load cell sensor concepts for weight measurement. In [14] the author discusses about the emergence of smart city for the increasing population and rapid urbanisation. To gel the gap in theories about smart cities the paper introduces a framework to implement the concept of smart cities.
