Auto-Trash, a Raspberry Pi-powered trashcan that can automatically sort waste by type, made its debut at the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon in New York. Equipped with a Raspberry Pi module and a camera, Auto-Trash uses image recognition to distinguish and sort items.
Currently, the trash can is set up to sort compostable and recyclable items, but its design team hopes to expand its functionality in the near future.
