Dataset Summary

This dataset contains real-world images of domestic trash and garbage, captured on mobile phones across diverse urban and rural environments throughout India. It is well-suited for training trash detection, material classification, and garbage segregation models used in smart waste management, automated recycling lines, municipal cleanliness monitoring, eco-friendly consumer apps, and carbon-footprint estimation systems.

It is also optimized for Generative AI, Visual Question Answering (VQA), Image Classification, and Large Multimodal Model (LMM) development, providing a strong basis for achieving robust model performance on real-world waste imagery.

Scenes cover a wide variety of capture scenarios — household trash bins, street-side garbage piles, dump yards, recycling centers, public spaces, and indoor waste containers — under varied lighting conditions (day, night), distances, and material viewpoints. The dataset captures the full diversity of trash items found in Indian domestic settings, including plastics, paper, metals, organic waste, and mixed materials.

Classes

• trash

The full dataset additionally supports material classification (e.g., plastic, paper, metal, organic, glass, etc.) for more granular labeling. Contact sales@datacluster.ai for details on material-level annotations.

Each XML file contains bounding-box annotations in the Pascal VOC format around the trash/garbage regions, with filenames matching their corresponding images.

Need a different annotation format? This sample ships in Pascal VOC (XML) only. YOLO, COCO, and TF-Record versions are available on request — see the conversion snippet below, or contact sales@datacluster.ai.
