Madurai Corporation to use AI and GPS for waste management

Madurai Corporation to use AI and GPS for waste management

The Madurai Corporation is planning to use artificial intelligence (AI) and GPS tracking to better manage waste in the city.

They will use AI to find places where people illegally dump garbage and GPS to track waste collection vehicles and workers.

This will help them clean up the city more efficiently.

They are also planning to set up five new centers to process biodegradable waste, which will reduce the amount of waste that needs to be transported to dumping yards.

Civic activists support these plans but also say that improving door-to-door waste collection is important for long-term improvements in sanitation.
