Build Your Own Sort-X

Sort-X is an open-source, AI-powered smart trash bin designed to help people take waste sorting into their own hands. Our goal isn’t to sell the final product — we want to empower makers, students, and environmentally conscious individuals to build their own Sort-X from scratch using affordable parts and our easy-to-follow guides.

Today, proper waste sorting is more important than ever. Yet most recycling systems are confusing, and contamination in bins leads to tons of recyclable materials being sent to landfills. Sort-X changes that. With the help of machine learning, sensors, and simple automation, Sort-X can detect the type of waste being thrown away and sort it into the correct bin — all without you needing to lift a finger.

This project is perfect for classrooms, home labs, tech enthusiasts, or sustainability projects. Whether you're a DIY beginner or a seasoned builder, you'll find everything you need to build your own working Sort-X device.
