Abstract: Efficient and scalable waste management has become imperative in mitigating environmental degradation and promoting sustainable urban ecosystems. Manual waste segregation is labor-intensive, error-prone, and insufficient to address the increasing volume of heterogeneous waste generated in modern cities. This paper presents the design and implementation of an AI-driven, real-time waste segregation system utilizing computer vision and deep learning for automated waste classification. The proposed system employs the YOLOv8 object detection model, optimized for edge devices to achieve low-latency, high-accuracy performance in dynamic, real-world environments. A custom dataset supplemented with publicly available TrashNet and TACO datasets was compiled, encompassing region-specific waste images under diverse lighting and background conditions. The system architecture integrates image preprocessing via OpenCV, classification through YOLOv8, and data persistence using MongoDB for scalable and flexible data management. Real-time classification identifies waste into four categories: biodegradable, non-biodegradable, recyclable, and hazardous, with the final model achieving a mean average precision (mAP) of 95% at IoU threshold 0.5. The modular system design ensures scalability, reliability, and high classification accuracy, supporting integration with IoT frameworks for enhanced waste monitoring and automated bin activation. Extensive unit and integration testing validated system robustness, achieving sub-2-second end-to-end latency and consistent database logging. The study highlights the system’s potential for deployment in smart cities, industrial zones, and waste management facilities, contributing to improved sustainability practices and regulatory compliance. Future work will explore multimodal data integration and robotic actuation for complete automated waste handling systems.
