Sortify - Smart Garbage Segregation using AI

The Project

Sortify is an AI-powered smart garbage segregation system designed to tackle the problem of mixed waste disposal. The idea came from noticing how most people throw all their trash into one bin, making recycling harder and leading to more landfill waste. Sortify solves this by using a camera and an AI model to identify if an item is recyclable or not, and then automatically sorts it into the correct bin. Building this project taught me a lot about training AI models and working with hardware like Raspberry Pi and servo motors. The most difficult part was making the AI accurate with different types of waste, but after a lot of testing and tuning, it finally worked. Sortify makes waste segregation easy, smart, and sustainable — right from home or school.
