In the Philippines, improper waste management remains a significant environmental and public concern. Improperly disposed and unsegregated garbage often accumulates along streets and waterways. During heavy rainfall, this waste can clog drainage systems and sewers, contributing to severe flooding and environmental pollution. This project aims to address these challenges by providing a platform that connects communities, waste collection services, and recycling facilities. It seeks to promote more efficient waste management by allowing residents to view garbage collection schedules and request pickups when needed. Additionally, the platform aims to help recycling facilities improve the recovery and processing of recyclable materials, particularly electronic waste (e-waste), which often requires specialized handling and recycling processes. By making waste collection more accessible and encouraging proper waste segregation and recycling, the project hopes to foster more responsible waste disposal practices, reduce environmental pollution, and support a more sustainable and efficient waste management system.
