Urbanization and population growth present significant challenges for efficient and sustainable waste management. This research develops an IoT-based intelligent system for waste classification and management utilizing RFID technology, ESP32, a camera, an ultrasonic sensor, and the YOLOv11 object detection model. The system accurately identifies three categories of waste: organic, inorganic, and hazardous. The classification process is automated, incorporating user identification via RFID, servo-controlled bin lid operation, and capacity monitoring through an ultrasonic sensor. Data management is facilitated through a mobile application and a website, which provide user guidance and support for administrators. Test results indicate that the system achieves an average accuracy of 87.5% in the mAP50-95 evaluation, with specific accuracies of 89.0% for inorganic waste, 86.0% for hazardous waste, and 87.0% for organic waste. Despite these results, challenges remain, including object detection errors related to background interference. Future research should focus on enhancing the dataset and implementing data encryption to improve model accuracy and information security. This system demonstrates significant potential for enhancing waste management efficiency and promoting sustainable environmental practices.
