The present invention provides a system and method for identifying trash within a predetermined geographic boundary using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The system comprises a UAV equipped with a camera, a wireless transceiver, and a first processor. The UAV communicates with a controller via a wireless network. The controller, which can be cloud-based or located on a computer connected to the wireless network, is configured to process image data captured by the camera using a neural network. The neural network helps to identify and geolocate trash within the images. The controller is further configured to route the UAV according to a preprogrammed flight path, plot the locations of any detected trash onto a map, and generate a report that can be made accessible to subscribers.
