Meet Oscar — Seneca’s new waste sorting system | MyNews | Seneca Students

Not sure how to sort your waste on campus? Meet Oscar, Seneca’s new artificial intelligence (AI) waste-sorting system. It helps you sort waste in real-time, empowering you to make better recycling decisions and divert waste from landfills.

The Oscar AI waste-sorting system scans your waste item and lets you know which sorting stream (garbage, paper, organics or recycling) it belongs to.

You can find Oscar in the cafeteria at King, Newnham and Seneca@York campuses. The system will help reduce waste on campus by helping you recycle your items properly.

Just like students, Oscar is continuing to learn and adapts with new waste items and packages at Seneca.

Please note: Oscar uses a camera for waste identification purposes and does not use, store or transmit your personal information.
