The problem wasteNot solves

Every household generates organic and inorganic wastes regularly.
But not everyone is able to dispose it well
Not every city has proper waste management system set up
Most people resort to burning of wastes which causes pollution and breathing related problems
Even though recyclable facilities are available, they may often be far from the user's homes or the common man may be unaware of them
Some local waste collectors comes occasionally to collect paper or metal scraps, but often they may arrive when the user is not at home or is ready to stack up the waste and deliver to them.

Challenges we ran into

React router library was updated and hence not a lot of resources were available on how to implement state management features. We had to think deep and come up with alternatives. Time was also a big factor. We had to make sure we put up a demonstratable version of our project and hence was a challenge due to the sheer size of our project and idea.
