Recycling made simple

Smart Rubbish Bin

The problem:

Travellers don’t understand how to throw away rubbish correctly in foreign countries.

THE SOLUTION: A SMART BIN

  • Designed in different modules (inspired by Tetris)

  • YOLO detection model trained for recycling classification

  • LEDs to illuminate the correct bin

HOW IT WORKS

The YOLO detection model is trained to recognise and classify different types of rubbish.

When recognise one class of waste, it triggers an LED (one for each module) so the user can understand where to throw away the rubbish.
