Abstract: Rapid urbanization has made it harder to keep cities clean and manage waste effectively. Manually reporting garbage dumping relies mostly on inefficiencies are rampant, and processes lack real-time transparency. Over the years, several smart waste management systems have There have emerged systems using the Internet of Things, IoT: Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Still, most of those systems focus on specific parts, such as enhancing waste collection or monitoring with sensors. They do not address the credibility of citizen reports or offer an entire workflow. This survey paper analyses existing AI-enabled waste detection, web based citizen participation engagement, and smart city waste management systems. Study: this refers to the ample one-sided nature of modern literature in terms of image verification, false report detection, real-time progress tracking, as well as accountability within citizenry. It was clearly noted that there must be a synchronized approach in terms of: "combines AI-based image classification, GIS-driven duplicate detection, workflow automation, and public transparency." Such aspects form the premise for the establishment of My_Clean_City. A web-based platform that aims to make urban cleanliness.
