Real-time camera system that sorts waste and finds the nearest recycling station

A real-time computer vision system that recognises and categorises disposable waste, guides proper sorting and disposal, and matches it to the right local recycling station.

About the project

Waste that isn’t sorted properly ends up in the wrong place — and people often don’t know which recycling station accepts what. Trasher uses AI to recognise waste in real time and point it to the right place.

How it works

  1. Detect — a camera feed is analysed with real-time object detection to find waste items.
  2. Classify — an image-classification model sorts each item into the right waste category.
  3. Guide — the system shows how the item should be sorted and disposed of.
  4. Match — geolocation matches the waste to the nearest suitable local recycling station.
