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
