About this Project:
Our project addresses the issue of waste disposal.
We interviewed students and realized they didn’t know about the specifics of recycling. We researched the issue and found there weren’t really Apps about recycling. We wanted to create an App to inform people about recycling.
Our App makes people aware about the impacts of waste and ways users can help reduce waste. It also shows which items can be recycled in each bin. The App keeps track of the ways the user has helped and gives them a reward.

Feedback from the Judges:
Great idea! It is really important to help people understand the waste around them in their neighborhoods and what they can do about it. I hope you can take your project further. I love the name btw!
Great idea to bring the issue of waste disposal to the community. It's often encouraging for players to collect points towards a goal (which I think would be great to have for your future iterations). I think your next step could be your resource page(s).
To upgrade your resources page, I think it's important for you to think about which audience are you trying to engage first. Students? Adults? Volunteers that are currently working for environmental protection groups? Or corporate employees? I think identifying your audience can help you better identify the news and resources that you would want to put on your app. You can start by figuring out which group of audiences have you interviewed that has the least amount of knowledge about waste disposal and needs this app.
