A sanitation worker wearing an orange uniform loads garbage onto a truck. Various carts and bags filled with waste materials like cardboard, plastic, and other refuse surround him. Several brooms are visible, indicating cleaning activities. In the background, people pass by and a telephone booth is visible.

Utilizing GPT-4 for real-time waste classification and routing systems.

A metal trash bin labeled 'Abfall' is overflowing with various waste items such as paper cups, bottles, and bags. The surroundings appear to be a train or metro station, identifiable by the red train visible in the background. On the ground, near the base of the bin, are scattered flowers, including long-stemmed roses.
