The traditional methods of managing waste products in the streets has not been very reliable as it is manual and involves much human efforts. This research work is focused on the design of Internet of Things (IoTs) based technology to enhance the management of wastes in our localities. The new system uses two ultrasonic sensors to monitor two different points at the refuse center. When the garbage level reaches threshold, the system reports to the agency in charge through IoT cloud platform (Blynk). The system also has a timer function which it uses to determine the time the next waste removal will be done by the agents. ESP8266 Nodemcu microcontroller was utilized which support WiFi network. Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology was adopted. Embedded C++ programming language was used to program the system. This goes a long way to improve on the current methods of waste management in our society at large. This system monitored and detected the level of solid waste disposed at the dump site at two different points remotely. This helped the department in charge of managing the disposal of the solid waste to check the activities of the agency contracted to evacuate the solid waste. Notification was sent to the appropriate authorities that are concerned with managing the evacuation of the solid waste dump site when the threshold was reached or exceeded.
