TrashAway

Abstract

This project was developed as for the Virginia Tech MEng CS5934 capstone project. Trashaway is a progressive web application that is user-friendly and is created for almost any user who would like to have their surroundings clean and green. Using this application, anybody who uses a smartphone can report unattended dump/trash in any locality/neighborhood. The report is then handled by volunteer organizations that also use the application. The volunteer organization, once done with handling/cleaning up the trash request, can update the user that that request has been handled. The users and organizations upload relevant images and add details regarding the report while submitting the request and updating the request respectively. The application also promotes user engagement with interactive plans such as badges, coupons that rewards users who are active i.e the users that submit a higher number of reports. This encourages users to be active and also in turns helps keep our surroundings clean and green.
