Recycle robot – using raspberry pi and tensorflow
My main problem with recycling as done today in most cities I just don't know what do they expect from me. In London my district had different bins for different colors of glass. I live in NYC now, where I hear they have a 2 stream system, one for metal and glass, one for paper and plastic but most public buildings just have "recycle" and "trash".
Should I throw a plastic bottle in there? I know you can recycle some plastics but not all.  Cardboard is obviously recycled, but can I put in other paper boxes (not necessarily corrugated) between the cardboard? What about my paper coffee cup? Is that compostable or recyclable paper or trash?In a weird way a machine like this would solve my issue if it were programmed by the building or city to do the right thing...Edit: typos
