IoT based Garbage Classification and Monitoring System

A good ecosystem is necessary for a good and thriving society. The procedure has indeed been susceptible to bad errors and negligence due to the age-old practice of employing people to frequently inspect and clear loaded garbage cans. Furthermore, due to differing regularity of trash can use across regions, time-based regular inspections are unproductive since a trashcan may be overflowing quickly and require quick care, or there may be without the need for a normal inspection for a longer period. As a result, spilling, and smelling trash cans become even more of an issue than a fix, making the current system resource costly and ineffective. The current proposal is to construct Smart Trash cans with NodeMCU that analyse and transmit data to the ThingSpeak IoT platform, which incorporates a deep learning model which classifies trash based on if it is compostable or not and whether or not the trash can is overflowing. It also features a graphical user interface that indicates the level of trash in the bin.
