Smart Trash Can

Maker Faire Bay Area 2019

May 17th-19th

Exhibit Raspberry Pi

We noticed that most trash was not being disposed of properly at our school, so we decided to make a trash can that can sort trash and recycling. Our trash can utilizes a Raspberry Pi and AI algorithms to detect the type of trash through a camera.
