Recyclable and Household Waste Classification

The Recyclable and Household Waste Classification Dataset is a comprehensive collection of 15,000 high-quality images (each 256×256 pixels) depicting various recyclable materials, general waste, and household items across 30 distinct categories. With 500 images per category and 250 images per subcategory, this dataset provides a valuable resource for research and development in waste classification and recycling. The images are organized into a hierarchical folder structure with subfolders representing specific waste categories or items, making it easy for researchers and developers to navigate and utilize the dataset. Each subfolder contains images labeled as either “default” for standard studio-like representations or “real_world” for items in practical, real-world settings. This structure ensures that users can effectively train and evaluate waste classification models for both controlled and complex environments.
