  ABSTRACT: This study assesses the transferability of IoT solutions applied to smart waste collection in low-resource settings. In line with PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review covering the period 2016-2024 was conducted across four databases (IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Scopus). Out of 329 records, 36 studies were included. Results highlight the predominance of ultrasonic sensors (~46%), the widespread use of Arduino/ESP32 (~72%) and Wi-Fi (~27%) despite their limited robustness in low-connectivity environments, while LoRa/LoRaWAN (~20%) is gaining ground. Community engagement remains marginal, with about 60% of the systems lacking any user interaction. The most transferable solutions are those that combine technical simplicity, low-power architectures, and lightweight interfaces (USSD/SMS), together with context-specific route optimization. It is therefore recommended to prioritize open, modular, and locally tested systems, to strengthen community involvement, and to align pilot projects with municipal policies.
