Project Overview

This project applies Big Data analytics and Machine Learning techniques to optimise smart waste management in Dhaka city. The objective is to predict whether a waste bin requires collection using operational, environmental and geographical information collected from smart waste bins.

PySpark was used to implement a complete end-to-end Big Data pipeline including data ingestion, preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, distributed computing optimisation, model evaluation and Tableau storytelling.

The project demonstrates scalable machine learning techniques suitable for urban waste management systems.
