With the evolution of IoT, came the enrichments of human lifestyle. However, one issue that still needs improvement is the waste management and handling of garbage collection. The total generation of waste in India is about 150 million tons every day and hence waste management in India has become a very challenging task. This paper focuses on the IoT based system that can support the existing workforce to manage waste generated in the sectors of a smart city. In this paper, we have the critical analysis of existing literature which is relevant to intelligent dustbins and the mechanisms associated with IoT. Though, the literature consists of a lot many research contributions, but, here, we have analyzed around twenty research papers. We have analysed all the research works on common basis and represented them in tabular form so that comparison between the different methods can be easily done. The emphasis is on the platform used by the concerned authors, the software and programming language used and the various performance evaluation parameters like number of sensors, type of storage, and the other parameters like fire detection, waste prediction, waste classification, route scheduling, approx. cost, etc. Hence, the merits and demerits of each of the existing approach can be determined. Finally, the findings are summarized related to the studied and analyzed research papers.
