        abstract = {Rapid urbanization and increasing population have resulted in a significant rise in municipal solid waste generation. Traditional waste collection methods often lead to overflowing bins, traffic congestion, unpleasant odors, and high operational costs. To overcome these challenges, this paper presents an Underground Power-Vacuum Garbage Collector System based on ESP32 and IoT technology. The proposed system utilizes ultrasonic sensors to monitor garbage levels and automatically activates a vacuum pump when the waste reaches a predefined threshold. Waste is transported through underground PVC pipelines to a centralized collection chamber, reducing human intervention and improving hygiene. Experimental testing demonstrated reliable waste-level detection and efficient transportation of lightweight waste materials. The proposed system provides a smart, automated, and environmentally friendly solution for modern urban waste management and smart-city applications.},
