Abstract
The objective of this project is to design and prototype a device that accepts plastic, aluminum and glass bottles, mixed with other miscellaneous items of trash, and automatically sorts the materials into separate containers. The device will be able to differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable materials and sort them accordingly in order to prevent recycling contamination. The system will use different sensors and image recognition to determine the correct material. Once determined sorting actuators will put the material into the correct bin.
