Abstract—This paper introduces an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor mesh network architecture designed for smart bin management in urban areas with limited access to Long Range Wide Area (LoRa) networks. The research primarily focuses on deploying this mesh network to minimize infrastructure requirements while ensuring broad coverage and real-time monitoring. The system operates with a minimal number of gateways and integrates fill level sensors that communicate within the mesh, enabling continuous waste level data collection. Compared to traditional waste management systems that rely on fixed routes and schedules, this architecture provides a more adaptive and scalable solution. Conventional methods often fail to accommodate fluctuating waste generation patterns, leading to inefficiencies such as overflowing or underutilized bins. By leveraging real-time monitoring, the proposed mesh network improves waste collection efficiency and optimizes resource allocation. The study was implemented in Tangier, Morocco, where the results demonstrated the system’s potential to improve urban waste management through reliable datadriven decision-making and optimized collection processes. Its deployment in Tangier underscores the feasibility and benefits of IoT mesh networks in building sustainable and efficient waste management solutions, particularly in rapidly expanding urban areas with constrained connectivity infrastructure.
