Service: Object Detection Kit Amsterdam - Automatic detection of garbage

Responsible organisation: City of Amsterdam (Local Government)

Object Detection Kit (ODK) is an open source platform for municipalities, initiated by Amsterdam. Garbage in public spaces is automatically detected. This information is then transmitted to the service responsible for the removal of that kind of garbage. There is a lot of garbage in certain locations in Amsterdam, especially near underground containers. The Amsterdam municipality aims to keep its streets as clean as possible, while employing its garbage removal services as efficiently as possible. ODK detects garbage in public spaces and enables more effective interventions to make sure streets are clean. ODK reduces the impact of garbage on public spaces. Thanks to automatic scanning and reporting, locals don’t need to report as much wrongly placed garbage.
