Inspiration

-> some people don’t care and think it’s not a big deal -> recycling symbols are often small and easily overlooked -> recycling bins are not always available -> people are too lazy to differentiate trash from recycling -> people don’t know enough about recycling

What it does

Trash can that distinguish trash, recycle and compost. Plays three separate voice prompts depending on if you put the item in the proper receptacle

           Teaches you to separate your waste! 
           More recycling - less trash in the ocean

How we built it

Image recognition Tensorflow based program that recognizes the image of what is thrown in the trash can and sorts it accordingly in prototype recognizes what is shown in picture and puts in categories of trash, recycling and compost

Challenges we ran into

time limit, decoupling app

Accomplishments that we're proud of
