Machine Learning Powered Smart Dumpster Monitoring and Clearance System

According to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, India is one of the well resourced countries with plenty of raw materials. Since the raw materials are easily available, the human requirement also increases which leads to mass production of waste. Waste materials thus produced can be reverted into resources by recycling process. This recycling process can be done by proper sorting of waste into various categories like degradable and non-degradable wastes by human efforts. Recycling contamination also occurs when harmful wastes are mixed together. This paper comes up with an idea of smart dumpster monitoring and clearance system which sorts the garbage using Machine Learning based image classification. After sorting and disposal of waste, it notifies the municipality waste collector through Wi-Fi module over the internet about the bin level for collection of garbage before the bin overflows.
