About the project

Rebin, a startup focused on waste management optimization, provided a dataset containing fill levels of bins collected via sensors over the past year and a half. The project involved cleaning and analyzing this data to identify key factors influencing the speed at which bins reach full capacity. After thorough preprocessing and feature engineering, predictive models were developed to estimate the number of days until a bin would become full. Additionally, a classification model was built to determine whether a bin would reach full capacity within a given timeframe (e.g., X days). These models aimed to optimize waste collection schedules by reducing unnecessary pickups and ensuring timely emptying before bins overflowed. The approach combined statistical analysis and machine learning techniques, emphasizing both accuracy and interpretability to provide actionable insights for Rebin’s operational planning.
