A community-driven platform to tackle unmanaged waste. Users report waste with images and details, while volunteers and clubs organize cleanups. A leaderboard gamifies the experience.

The problem BinIt solves

Unmanaged waste is a growing issue, leading to environmental pollution, health risks, and a decline in overall quality of life. Public spaces, streets, and neighborhoods suffer from unchecked litter accumulation, affecting both communities and ecosystems.
The lack of an efficient and structured waste reporting system makes it difficult to address the issue effectively. Even when waste is reported, there is little to no accountability in ensuring its cleanup, leading to frustration and inaction. Without a proper mechanism to report, track, and verify waste cleanups, communities struggle to maintain cleanliness and sustainability.

This calls for a digital solution that bridges the gap between waste reporters and cleanup volunteers or authorities, ensuring a transparent, accountable, and efficient cleanup process.

Challenges we ran into

We faced challenges while implementing functionalities in OSM with Leaflet.js due to the limited number of tutorials available. This required us to rely heavily on extensive documentation to implement most features. However, the event itself was a great learning experience, and the team actively engaged with us, asking good questions that helped us refine and improve our project along the way.
