TIDY: Trash Image Dataset ‘Yucky’

A dataset in progress containing images of trash, which spans the following classes:

• cardborad
• cigarette butt
• glass
• metal
• paper
• plastic
• plastic bag
• plastic bottle
• unknown

For each class of trash there are four environments in which the photographs were taken:

• beach
• sea
• forest
• street

TIDY is still in progress: ideally, I would continue taking, classifying and uploading photos of trash every day. If you notice a misclassified picture, feel free to correct it.

TIDY’s ultimate goal is to provide open data to make trash classification easier. That way we can work on automated recycling systems etc.
