Lithuania started a new initiative to fight littering – new bikes with integrated scanning systems will now check streets for rubbish. Data collected by the Darom volunteers with help prepare a Cleanliness Index and highlight the areas with the highest littering rate.
“There is a system mounted to the back of it [the bike] that films everything to the right of the cyclist. It allows us to identify litter on that side,” Martynas, a volunteer cyclist, told LRT TV. “The system counts all the trash. [.] The photos are immediately deleted, and the analysed information is sent to servers where it is further processed.”
