Learning with Smart Waste Management

Abstract: Thispaper,introducesaninnovativesystem thatleveragesadvancedimagerecognition technology to classify waste into biodegradable and non-biodegradable categories. The smart dustbin, integrated with a camera module and ESP-32 microcontroller, uses pre-trained machinelearning models to automatewastesegregation processes. Designedasbothan educational tool and asustainable environmental solution, thesystemtargetsyounglearnersand communitymembers, raisingawarenessaboutthe importance of waste management. By automating the process, it minimizes human error, reduces environmental pollution,and supportscleanerandgreener practicesacrossvarious applications such as schools households, and public spaces.
