Tamper-proof technology introduced by blockchain; municipalities can escalate the productivity of their waste management efforts. The projected blockchain technology can attach correct stakeholders toward combining and providing information. We review the various opportunities provided by blockchain Technology in proper handling of the various types of wastes like Solid Waste, Electronic Waste, Medical Waste and Industrial Waste. In this review paper we compare various research available in this domain related to different types of waste on the basis of vital specifications.
