Smart devices (devices having significant computational capabilities, transforming them to 'smart things') are embedded in the environment to monitor and collect ambient information. In a city, this leads to Smart City frameworks. Intelligent services could be offered on top of such information related to any aspect of humans' activities. A typical example of services offered in the framework of Smart Cities is IoT-enabled waste management. Waste management involves not only the collection of the waste in the field but also the transport and disposal to the appropriate locations. In this paper, we present a comprehensive and thorough survey of ICT-enabled waste management models. Specifically, we focus on the adoption of smart devices as a key enabling technology in contemporary waste management. We report on the strengths and weaknesses of various models to reveal their characteristics. This survey sets up the basis for delivering new models in the domain as it reveals the needs for defining novel frameworks for waste management.

Such services demand low power, high throughput and low-cost sensor data collection technologies. The number of devices, their variety, the breadth of their distribution, and the number of standards are continuously increasing. In this paper, we explore and critically analyze emerging IoT communication technologies. LoRaWAN has been selected for deployment in the smart waste management system (SWM) for collecting data from smart garbage bins. The paper proposes an architecture for SWM data collection and delivery as part of St. Petersburg pilot of Horizon-2020 bIoTope project. Extensive experiments with actual sensors and smart garbage bins were conducted for stress-testing the LoRaWAN technology, analyzing data rates and power consumption. The paper concludes with lessons learned and LoRaWAN wider deployment feasibility and improvements discussion.
