# Multi-Class Waste Image Classification Dataset

## Overview
This dataset is curated for multi-class waste classification using computer vision and deep learning techniques. It provides a structured, high-quality benchmark for training custom CNN architectures, benchmarking transfer learning models, and building automated waste sorting pipelines.
