Summary:This paper put forward an intelligent garbage collection application for Android/iOS mobile phones to benefit the resident and municipal workers. The existing waste collection system is that the municipality sends a truck to each home and manually picks up the garbage bag. However, if the garbage collection truck is not on time, the garbage is not collected from their respective residence. This results in residents throwing the trash in the open area. Hence, a solution is proposed for a garbage collection system using the flutter-firebase along with geofencing technology. The main objective of this paper is to inform the residents when the garbage collection truck is on its way to collect the garbage via an Android/iOS device, and also list the details to the truck driver's mobile about number of persons waiting to dispose of the garbage. This proposed garbage collection application will ensure that the garbage is collected on time from each resident and waste is disposed of scientifically. Also, this application ensures the minimum waiting time for the residents to dispose the garbage and maximum area coverage in short time for the municipal worker without missing a resident. This application is developed using Flutter Software Development Kit and works well with both Android and iOS based mobile phones.
