Abstract:

The "Organized Waste Optimization" (OWO) project aims to improve waste management in Wrocław through
an innovative distributed system. This system integrates IoT-enabled smart bins, a centralized back-end for data
processing and route optimization, and a front-end application for visualization and tracking. Key benefits in-
clude reduced fuel consumption, minimized traffic congestion, and a cleaner urban environment. Despite risks
such as environmental challenges and scalability, our prototype highlights the potential for practical implemen-
tation.
