      Zone

      Overview

      A Zone refers to a defined geographical area within a town or city that is strategically divided for efficient monitoring, collection, and management of waste.

      In a Smart Waste Management system, the division of the town into smaller zones enables better resource allocation, route optimization, and real-time tracking of waste collection activities.


      Each zone is assigned to a specific waste collection team, vehicles, and smart bins equipped with sensors for monitoring bin levels, waste type, and collection frequency. Data collected from these zones is analyzed through a centralized dashboard to ensure timely disposal, reduced operational costs, and improved cleanliness across the city.
