The Smart AI Garbage Management System (SAGMS) is a full-stack intelligent waste management platform developed using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js), designed to enhance urban cleanliness through AI-powered waste classification and efficient role-based workflow. It employs computer vision techniques to identify and categorize waste types such as dry, wet, and plastic, and prioritize them as high, medium, or low urgency. The system operates across three roles: Admins manage municipal corporation approvals, user accounts, and assign waste reports; Municipal Corporation Officers (MCs) register, log in, view AI-tagged waste reports, collect and update status; while Users can register, log in, post waste reports by uploading images, view their reports, earn reward points, access leader boards, and manage their profiles. The AI model embedded in the backend automatically processes image data to tag the waste type and urgency, ensuring faster and smarter allocation of clean-up tasks. SAGMS thus offers a transparent, responsive, and scalable ecosystem for smart urban sanitation by integrating real-time AI insights, gamified user participation, and efficient municipal coordination.
