AI-Powered Smart Waste Segregation and Collection Platform

AI-powered smart waste segregation and collection platform that helps citizens identify and dispose of waste correctly using a mobile application.

Users can capture or upload images of waste items through the app. A trained deep learning image classification model analyzes the image and automatically categorizes the waste into types such as biodegradable, recyclable, hazardous, or e-waste. Based on the result, the system provides clear disposal guidance to help users segregate waste at the source.

The platform also includes a smart waste pickup request feature, allowing users to schedule collection for specific waste categories. These requests, along with location details, are accessible to municipal authorities or waste management teams to plan efficient waste collection routes.

A working web-based prototype with real-time AI classification has already been developed, and the solution is now being extended into a mobile application for easier access and real-time waste reporting. This approach aims to improve waste segregation accuracy, reduce environmental impact, and support smarter urban waste management.
