🗑️ Garbage Classification with Transfer Learning

This project was developed during the Shell-Edunet Skills4Future Internship (June–July 2025). It aims to classify garbage images into six categories using deep learning and transfer learning, achieving up to 98% accuracy.

🧠 Objective

Automatically classify garbage into:

• Cardboard
• Glass
• Metal
• Paper
• Plastic
• Trash

🗃️ Dataset

• Folder: TrashType_Image_Dataset
• Loaded via ImageDataGenerator with train/validation split
• Includes preprocessing and augmentation for better generalization

🧪 Model Details

• Base Models: EfficientNetV2B2 (primary), MobileNetV2 (for comparison)
• Framework: TensorFlow / Keras
• Accuracy Achieved: ✅ 98%
