Garbage Classification with Deep Learning

Sorts waste photos into plastic, paper, glass, metal and organic

1-2 weeks build

Overview

Builds a waste-sorting classifier from the public TrashNet images plus an organic class from a Kaggle waste dataset. A small custom CNN is trained first as a baseline, then a fine-tuned ResNet-50 shows what transfer learning adds. A Streamlit page classifies a photo and tells the user which bin it belongs in.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Five waste classes mapped to everyday bin colours
  • 02Custom CNN baseline compared with a fine-tuned ResNet-50
  • 03Class balancing for the under-represented categories
  • 04Streamlit app with bin suggestion and confidence score
  • 05Confusion matrix and per-class F1 in the report

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Dataset

    TrashNet plus an organic class, merged and relabelled.

  2. 02

    Baseline CNN

    Three-block convolutional network trained from scratch.

  3. 03

    Transfer model

    Fine-tuned ResNet-50 with augmentation.

  4. 04

    App

    Streamlit upload and camera input with bin guidance.

  5. 05

    Evaluation

    Side-by-side metrics for both models.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain the gap between a scratch CNN and a pretrained one
  • Discuss why glass and plastic get confused
  • Demo sorting on rubbish photographed in the lab
