Abstract

In developing countries, waste management usually accounts for 30-50% of municipal operational budgets. Despite these high expenses, many cities collect only 50-80% of wastes generated. With less than 50% refuse collection rates, residents are left with little choice other than to dump their garbage in nearby vacant lots, public spaces, rivers, etc. Unsanitary dumping sites can lead to a plethora of menace. The primary problem in these scenarios is that the litter is not identified and reported. In this proposed model, by applying image processing technologies and application programming interface, the concerned sites once recognized to be a garbage heap or sewage or effluent, its location is sent to nearby corporations and municipalities so that they can appropriate measure to clear it up.
