  Waste management is one of the significant problems throughout the world.
Contemporaneous methods find it difficult to manage the volume of solid waste
generated by the growing urban population. In this paper, we propose a system
which is very hygienic and cheap that uses Artificial Intelligence algorithms
for detection of the garbage. Once the garbage is detected the system
calculates the position of the garbage by the use of the camera only. The
proposed system is capable of distinguishing between valuables and garbage with
more than 95% confidence in real-time. Finally, a robotic arm controlled by the
microcontroller is used to pick up the garbage and places it in the bin.
Concluding, the paper explains a system that is capable of working as a human
in terms of inspecting and collecting the garbage. The system is able to
achieve 3-4 frames per second on the Raspberry Pi, capable of detecting the
garbage in real-time with 90%+ confidence.
