Today, one of the main problems of countries is waste management and waste classification. In many countries people dispose of their waste without classifying it, so countries need to establish facilities to classify waste. It is important for the economy that these wastes are properly classified The more accurate the classification of waste, the more they can contribute to their economy in terms of recycling and greener world.According to World Bank data, we produce 1.3 billion tons of solid waste annually, which means 1.2 kg of waste per person per day. The World Bank estimates that by 2025 the amount of waste per person per day will be 1.42 kg. Based on these data, we can understand that we produce very fast waste and there is need to sort and classify these waste faster. This guide will help you know how to sort your waste and know what is recyclable, Hence how we arrived at our categories.
One of the key performance indicator (KPI) in a successful recycling program is the waste diversion rate
and it represents the amount of waste that is diverted from landfill for recycling. When looking to
improve the success of your recycling program it is critical to know your current waste diversion rate as
a benchmark.

fig 2.0 (a) It is evident that Manhattan and Staten Island have the highest Diversion Rate Total in all Zones which means most waste diverted from landfill for recycling.
Humans generate about 2.2 billion tons of waste every year.
Currently only 10% is recycled, while there is a potential to
recycle 70%.
Lack of waste sorting is the main cause of not recycling waste,
thus ending in landfills.
Many people lack the knowledge to classify waste and dump
everything.
Reasons
The reasons behind the problem might be people pay less attention when it comes to recycling. Not all people have the awareness of recycling. And there is no incentive to do that because recycling cost is high. Products that uses recycled materials cost higher than those not.
Our vision,What can we do?
To design a smart system on the customers’ side that can help classify waste.
Model Solution
We collected over 22000 photos of trash and labeled them. Then, we trained an Image Classification model based on vgg16. The model gave us a 96.45% of accuracy rate which was used for designing
