Abstract: By increasing human health, safeguarding aquatic habitats, and lowering air pollution, smart cities do have the ability to tackle the environmental issues provided by appropriate waste management. In this article, we look at how blockchain technology might help smart cities manage waste by allowing for traceability, immutability, transparency, and audits in a decentralised manner, dependable, and secure way. We discuss the advantages of blockchain technology in a variety of waste management situations, such as real-time garbage cans monitoring and tracking, reliable waste channelling and compliance with waste management rules, efficient waste resource management, waste management data preservation, and material handling are all examples of waste management services. To focus to the usefulness of blockchain technology in smart city waste management, we report on many projects and case studies based on blockchain technology.
We identify and address a number of open research challenges that are impeding the successful deployment of blockchain in management of waste in smart cities.
Keywords: Waste Management, Blockchain, Decentralized, Transparent.
