The Internet of Things (IoT) has empowered waste management performance through the ability to interconnect intelligent devices and share the information simultaneously. This paper presents an IoT-based Smart Dustbin, which can be utilized at the home level, where the primary purpose is to keep the level of sanitation and streamline the process of waste management. Thi system consists of a battery of sensors that are  interconnected with an ESP8266 microcontroller that coordinates all working processes. The ultrasonic sensor tracks the level of the fill in the bin thus eliminating cases of overflow. At the same time, a humidity sensor is used to detect the existence of moisture,thus, differentiating wet waste. In this regard, the system automatically separates biodegradable material and non- biodegradable material. Broodable waste, e.g., food remains and organic material, will be sent to a special compartment and non- biodegradable waste e.g. plastic and metal to a different repository. A servo motor opens and closes the sorting mechanisms and opening them to guarantee appropriate separation.The dustbin creates the data which is sent to a cloud-based hosting giving the opportunity to remotely monitor and store thedata. This feature will allow the users and waste management team to know the status of the bin at any time. The adoption ofthe smart dustbin reduces the use of manual labor and increases the level of hygiene. Also, it promotes recycling habits and will help in clean environment. All in all, the current paper offers a simple but elegant solution to the problem of making house waste management more efficie
