Abstract

The growing concern over clothing waste and its environmental impact has motivated the 
development of reliable solutions for managing donation surplus garments. This work plays an 
important role to ensure a constant supply of clothes without waste. In addition, it supports both 
donor and donation warehouse by applying intelligent techniques. This paper introduces a smart 
clothing donation system leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI). The system facilitates efficient 
collection, classification, and distribution of donated clothes. Utilizing Convolutional Neural 
Networks (CNN) for image-based classification achieving an accuracy of 92%, and K-Nearest 
Neighbors (KNN) for text-based classification with an accuracy of 93%, the system ensures 
accurate sorting of clothing items. The proposed approach aims to reduce textile waste while 
enhancing accessibility to clothing for underprivileged communities. Experimental results 
demonstrate the system's efficiency, achieving high accuracy in classification and significant 
reductions in processing time. This AI-driven solution represents a significant step forward in 
promoting sustainable clothing donation practices worldwide.
