This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program project grant awarded to Saint Louis University will develop an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor network to optimize solid waste management and increase recycling participation in the St. Louis, Missouri area. The $149,791 award, which runs from April 2024 to March 2025, will enable the university to:

  1. Design and deploy a sensor network on waste bins to gather data on incoming recyclable and non-recyclable solid waste, filling a key data gap. This will inform efforts to improve recycling operations and outreach.

  2. Prototype three AI models - one to optimize city-wide recycling, one to quantify the impact of recycling outreach, and one to assess outreach strategies for behavior change.

  3. Engage non-profits and community groups to reduce food waste and increase transparency and education on recycling services.

The project will also involve a sub-award to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to provide expertise on landfill measurements and operations. Additionally, a sub-award to St. Louis Earth Day will support recycling festivals and data collection.
