Efficient waste management is one of the main challenges in supporting the implementation of the smart city concept. This research aims to develop a prototype of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based waste management system capable of monitoring the condition of waste bins in real-time through an Android-based mobile application. The system uses the forward chaining method to perform inference processes in decision making, such as identifying the status of the bin (empty, almost full, or full) based on integrated sensor data. The results show that the system is able to detect the volume of waste with high accuracy, send automatic notifications to operators or users when the bin reaches a certain condition, and provide practical solutions to optimise the waste collection process. With these features, the system not only improves operational efficiency but also supports cost reduction and environmental impact. The resulting prototype is expected to be the first step in the application of IoT technology in urban waste management to support the realisation of smart cities.
