But first the Metro Council has to give it the OK. According to the Tennessee Environmental Council (TEC), roughly $180,000 worth of recyclable materials end up in landfills each year. Nashville Department of Waste Services leaders tell News 2 this pilot program\u2014that would be funded with state money\u2014could help to mitigate that.<\/p>\n<p>There will be a camera set up on waste management trucks, and when material is dumped, the camera can scan the different materials. It then identifies if there is a plastic bag, bagged materials or even something that could tangle later on, slowing down the separation process at the facility. Leaders say the goal is to educate people more effectively about what can and can\u2019t go into the recycle bin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see a lot of folks bag the recyclable materials, and when they bag it, there\u2019s no machine that\u2019s breaking those bags open. So, while you\u2019ve got a resident that\u2019s done a really good thing\u2014they want to recycle\u2014but they\u2019ve bagged all that material, so all their hard work still goes to the landfill,\u201d said Jenn Harrman, the administrative services manager for the Nashville Department of Waste Services. \u201cWhen you do put materials in that bin that can be recycled, they\u2019re absolutely getting recycled, and they\u2019re staying within about a four-hour radius here of Nashville.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5><em>To read the full story, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wkrn.com\/news\/local-news\/nashville\/pilot-program-uses-ai-to-monitor-recycling-in-davidson-county\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.wkrn.com\/news\/local-news\/nashville\/pilot-program-uses-ai-to-monitor-recycling-in-davidson-county\/<\/a>.<br \/>\nAuthor: Kori\u00a0<\/em><i>Johnson, WKRN.com<\/p>\n<p><\/i><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new program would use artificial intelligence to make recycling better in Nashville.
