Smart Waste Management Using Deep Learning with IoT

The emerging rise in the population and urbanisation alarms the nation for its environment safety. The incorrect handling and waste disposal will cause immense threat to these growing cities. Therefore, it has raised the need for proper waste collection and classification of wastes with proper disposal. The current waste disposal system in India consists of unclassified and unorganized wastes collected and then segregated at different stations[7]. This segregation done by manual labour forces can bring health related issues to the waste sorters and also being less efficient, time consuming and not completely feasible due to their large amount. This paper proposes a solution that can identify and classify the waste and organize it into the particular waste bin (recyclable, organic and harmful wastes) without any human hand. The system uses deep learning algorithms to identify and classify the wastes into particular category; the categorized recycled and organic wastes can be used for future better purposes. This process will help the environment in making more valuable and ecologically safe and help us to make rich green ecosystem and a promising better future.
