<![CDATA[This study presents the development of an automated waste image classification system for the OLSAM platform to enhance community participation in waste management. The objective is to integrate a lightweight CNN-based classifier with a weighted point calculation mechanism for five waste categories. A dataset of 1,500 images was used, split into 80% training, 10% validation, and 10% testing. The MobileNetV2 architecture was applied to perform image classification, while a weighted reward mechanism assigned points based on the detected waste type and its weight. The model achieved its best performance at epoch 65, reaching an accuracy of 96.67% and a weighted F1-score of 0.97. These results indicate that combining CNN-based recognition with a weighted point system effectively supports user engagement and promotes sustainable waste-sorting behavior within community waste management systems.]]>
