Especially, in the developing countries, citizen needs some encouragement to interact with modern systems and make him use it in everyday life. Due to the growth of IoT technology, there is an increasing need and importance to design and implement waste management systems that attract and involve the citizens in the waste management process. The aim of this paper is to present the design of attractive waste management that uses IoT devices, RFID tags, weight and ultrasonic sensors to measure the citizen interaction with the waste management process.
