SmartBin AI is an intelligent waste management solution designed to address the growing challenges of waste collection in urban Burundi, African environments and beyond the world # SmartBin AI ♻️ SmartBin AI is an IoT and AI-based waste management system designed to improve waste collection efficiency in urban environments. ## 🚀 Overview The system uses smart sensors installed in waste bins to monitor fill levels in real time. Data collected from these sensors is processed to help optimize waste collection schedules and routes, reducing overflow, operational costs, and environmental impact. ## 🧠 Features - Real-time waste level monitoring - IoT-based sensor integration (ESP32/Arduino) - Data collection and visualization - AI-based prediction for bin fill levels (future work) - Route optimization for waste collection (future work) ## 🛠️ Tech Stack - Embedded Systems: ESP32 / Arduino - Programming: C/C++, Python - Communication: WiFi / MQTT - Backend (optional): Node.js / Flask - Data Processing: Python (Pandas, ML libraries) ## 🌍 Vision To build scalable, low-cost smart waste management solutions adapted to African cities and resource-constrained environments. ## 📌 Status 🚧 In development — prototype stage ## 🤝 Contribution Contributions, ideas, and collaborations are welcome!
