Goal and impact
On 4 March 2020, the municipality of Amsterdam showed a large group of interested people in its data lab how it currently registers waste at placements via mobile cameras. The aim was to gain a timely picture of where waste was located and to collect it separately (e.g. cardboard, electrical appliances, Christmas trees, mattresses and rubbish bags) so that certain streams could be better recycled, but also to avoid unnecessary (double) driving to locations. However, the product did not yet appear to function as expected. It could only detect two types of waste and the extra flow of detection data could not yet be effectively merged with the reports flow from citizens and own staff, so that the risk of unnecessary driving to locations could not be solved. In addition, the product had to be rebuilt. A&G refrained from following up. The product was never made and commissioned.

- This algorithm has a low impact. Through weighing data and sensor data, we know how full a waste container is. As a result, we only need to empty the full containers. As a result, Amsterdam residents can always dispose of their waste.Last change on 25th of April 2024, at 12:31 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
