Simple Sort - Automated Trash, Compost, and Recycling Bin

Improperly sorted trash is a large problem that adversely affects the health of the environment. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency only 32% of Americans recycle. To combat this problem we have designed a product to increase the rate at which trash is correctly sorted in a consumer environment.

Sorting is accomplished using image classification and a rotating mechanism that drops a trash item into the correct compartment. The design allows consumers to recycle and compost at home without having to know how to manually sort their waste, or taking the time to do so.
