Ever find trash or non-recyclables in recycling bins? Adam uses a Raspberry Pi coupled with a webcam to identify soda bottles and cans to help alleviate this problem. Watch Adam build a recycling bin attachment that stops trash and non-soda cans from ending up in the recycling bin, using a solenoid lock and hall effect sensor.

    That's a nifty cool project.

    That would be an awesome project for schools (and not only) to teach kids about recycling, and what can and cannot go into the bins !

    Well done.

    I've seen your first video trying to meddle with the ML models. Looking forward to see you building your own!

    Cheers

    Thank you! I tried to make it very open-source and universal so it could be easily replicated.
